Very Computer

I recently installed debian alongside Win95 on a computer I've had just
under a year.

I thought I'd install the X window server today, but it seems that the
version of X
that came with my debian cd does not support my videocard (Matrox
MGA-G100).

I had a look at deja.com and found the following and lots of similar info:

Quote:>You should get the latest xfree86 3.3.3.1 updates. I had the same problem

and this update made

Quote:>the card work under X. Make sure you get the xfree86 itself, the

xfree86-libs, xfree86Setup

Quote:>and/or latest Xconfigurator, and the SVGA server.

>Good Luck.

I am quite inexperienced and wondered if anyone tell me how I would go
about acquiring this
software, and what I would need to do with it once I'd acquired it.

I realise that some work on my part is required and I would be happy if
someone would point
me in the direction of some source of information that I could read; in
relation to acquiring
software and installing it.

Also I was wondering what command I need to give inorder to find out which
version of X I was
infact running.
