  Greetings,
    I have minix 1.3 and have the manuals and stuff but have not
played around with it too much. I want to upgrade to 1.5 if it
can support any sort of graphics. Mainly I want to access my VGA
card. Do I need to write a driver or something or does one come
with 1.5? Also, is anyone working on porting X to minix or even
any simple windowing system? Replies via posting or E-Mail both
are appreciated. Thanks.

Mahesh
