Thanx to all you who responded to my post and pointed me in the
direction
of XFree 3.3.1! I now get 16bit color in 800x600 resolution and
everything is running smoothly. Now I can delay getting another video
card for a few months, which should translate into getting alot more for
the money when I do get one.
Also, thanx to those who responded to my post about the S3Virge
cards.
If money is still tight when I do go to get a new card, I will probably
go that route now.
