	Folks,

	Does anybody onlist have a working XF86Config for an 
	old year 2000 emachine 500ix?  It's been close to two
	years since X has been working correctly on his old system. 

	I just upgraded it to a full 256M of SDRAM and added a
	huge drive.  Now am getting ready toput 5.3 on there.
	xf86config, the shell version, didn't work, and it looks
	like I messed up on the GUI config.

	Assistance much appreciated.

	thanks,

	gary

	PS:  oh  yeah, any opinions on xorg vs xfree86 welcome, too.
