OK I ftp'd the binaries for X11 and I untared them. Now what do I do with
them! I cant start an xserver on my PC because it keeps looking for a /dev/vga.
I can't find any reference to creating this device in any documentation.

If anybody could please tell me how to create this device or where I can find
some instructions I would be made muchly happy!

  Thanks in advance,

    Tony (T.Jago@ctpm.uq.oz.au)
