i have a trident svga video card, but an old crappy vga monitor.  the
problem is that X is linked to XF86_SVGA, not XF86_VGA_16.  actually, the
problem is that XF866_VGA_16 doesnt even appear in /usr/X11R6/bin.  any
tips on what im not doing properly, or what i need to do?  xinit knows
whats up, and wont startup the svga version.
