OK, this may be an easy one you guys: I'm trying to get X to fire up, but won't because is said that the drivers for the video card don't support 24-bit color. I can put in into 16-bit or 8-bit, but that's not wha I want. I have a small amount of knowledge in the text-based area, and would rather be a GUI. I also need to figure out how to get the thing to find the inernet. Here is what it said to me when I started X:
