We are interested in running X windows under Unix on 386 machines.
We plan on getting some VGA card that does 800x600 mode with some
monitor, vendors uncertain.

Is a multi-sync type monitor necessary for 800x600 mode?
Is there a standard for 800x600 mode, or is it vendor specific?

Has anyone out there done X at all?  Under Unix?
Does X11.3 contain a driver for the 800x600 mode?
Anyone know of such a driver?
