You can use X386 with a standard VGA or EGA in 640x480x2, with about 800x600
in virtual desktop. Some of us with SVGA that X doesn't know about have to do
this too. Here's how:
Link X386mono as X in /usr/bin/X11
Use Xconfig.mono as a basis for Xconfig in /usr/X386/lib/X11, and
insert 'Chipset "generic"' into the VGA2 section.
