Ah - i had only check the comp.linux.setup group, for a few day.  I'll 
watch the .hardware group, now.

I guess if i don't find someone else who's identified the x 
configuration, i'll have to locate the appropriate chipset in the config 
notes and struggle with getting X going, as i did last time.  (At least 
this time i'll have the hardware manuals identifying the chipset, etc!)

With the sort of encouraging info about using linux that you mentioned,
and the troubles with using OS/2, it sounds like linux is worth aiming
for.  I'm surprised that OS/2 is ungainly when it comes to resources, but
after playing with it some more, i'm not real thrilled about the user
interface.  Seems best to just go with my familiar window managers, X,
emacs, and all the stuff that comes with linux... 

Thanks much for the info.
