>> First, install all packages for X, mostly done during installation itself.
>> Now run xf86config, and select VGA-16. Then startx, see if X comes up,
>> It should, but with an ugly resolution & color. What you need is

>> 1. Compile 2.4.x kernel, and install it. Boot through 2.4.x kernel.

> That's not needed. I'm using 2.2.18-pre21.

>> 2. Then, (I had previously downloaded .tgz files of XFree96 V 4.0)
>> install the X 4.0 packages. They will overwrite all your X 3.3.x

>> 3. Now again xf86config, select SVGA server, then startx. VIOLA - All
>> The beauty of X + wmaker. ;-)

> In XFree4, there are not that lot of X servers from

>> Correct me if I had done something silly. ;-)
