HEEEELP!!!

I've got Slackware 3.0 installed and working fine (so far, I think,
only installed it on the weekend from the Nov '95 Infomagic CD set).
I then installed XFree86 and hit problems when it came to setting up
the XF86Config file, I have no details at all about my monitor.  All
I know is it is 14" and SVGA.  It has "Super5" and "Low Radiation"
written on the front.  On the  back is a sticker that says:
  "Model: SVI 1428NI
   S/N: 94077842"

I bought the computer second hand and it came with no manuals etc.
The bloke I got it from has no idea of the specs and has no manuals
either.  How can I find out more info about it??  (eg. brand, all
the horizontal and vertical scan rates etc).

I eventually set it up at the minimum "standard" settings (at
640x480) and got it up and running and I can pop up xterms, but
"complex" things like the Xfilemanager and games etc won't appear.

When I exitted the window manager, once there was an X-error about
not enough virtual memory!  Could this be related to the monitor
problems??  Some specs of my system:
486DX2-66, 8Mb RAM, S3 1Mb VLB video card, 406Mb Conner HD (master)
all DOS, 1.2Gb Quantum Fireball HD (slave) partitioned as:
  300Mb DOS
  200Mb / (root)
  16Mb swap
  400Mb /usr
  rest (about 300Mb) /home.
I have LILO installed on the MBR of the master (Conner) HD - works
great.

Should I have more swap??  (the howto suggests a total of RAM +
swap = 16Mb should be enough, I have 8 + 16 = 24Mb total here).
It would be a bloody nuisance to repartition etc, but I would like
it set up "right" so will if I have to.  While I'm here too,
what about my partitions??  Is 200Mb root far too much??  Any
comments on my partitions??

Thanks (in advance) for any help!
Dave.
