This might be a really stupid question, but I'm a linux newbie. I have 
installed the slackware distrubution from the linux archive CDs, and to 
my dismay have been unable to get X to run due to my having an EGA 
monitor(keep flames to a minumum). I have tried to reconfigure using 
/usr/X11/bin/X86fconfig but even with the horiz and vert scan freq set to 
those of my card and monitor I have no luck. my finally though was to 
fully define a new monitor in the monitor definition file with a screen 
res of 640x350. Unfortunately I have been unable to decrypt the syntax of 
doing this and would appreciate help.

Do I need a different distrubution of X11?

Any other helpful suggestions would be welcome.
