Greetings,

	I find myself in the unfortunate position of having a 386 Unix machine
    with a less than optimal X windows implementation.  So, I am looking into 
    the possibility of starting from scratch and trying to get a server going.
    ( I know it's been done but a> I need the experience and b> why pay for 
    another crippled implementation? ). 

	I guess the first thing I could use is some pointers on where to find
    TFM which details what's involved in creating a server. Any tips from those
    who've been there before are of course welcome. And anyone who could get me 
    started on doing VGA graphics ( 256 color/640 x 480 ) under Microport Unix
    PLEASE HELP! I've got some DOS graphics books but they don't seem to help
    much for uPort. ( In particular, shifting from graphics to text and vice
    versa and accessing more than the standard 16 colors. )

	Thanks in advance for your help.
