You can run "Xconfigurator" and just pick a generic 16 color VGA graphic card or
go to Linux Service Labs on the phone or internet and order for about  $3.00 +
$8.00 shipping Linux   Mandrake 5.3 (Red Hat 5.2 +KDE 1.1). It has the newest
XFree 3.3.3.1 and installs KDE desktop as the default window manager instead of
FVWM that the regular Red Hat installs. I've done both and Mandrake is the way
to go.
