I do not expect much from 14", 1024X768 VGA monitor for an X window workstation.
But is it O.K. ? Is it worth while ? How slow is it ? or How fast is it ?
There are many VGA cards supporting 1024X768. Can all those cards be used
for X window system ? Which VGA cards does ESIX support for X-window ?
If VGA monitors are worth while, what are the tips to buy them ?
I would appreciate if someone who has the VGA-Xwindow experiences could
send me some valuable informations.

Thanks,
