Thanks for all the advice on getting an EZ-config tool for SAMBA. I am
certain it will all come in quite useful.
However, the more immediate problem is getting the graphical environment to
work.
I am starting to wonder whether xinitrc might be out of synch with the
Xfree86 hardware configuration. I think it is bringing up an SVGA entry
rather that a hardware specific set of monitor parameters.
Hmm.
