Thanks for the advice. I have not yet had time to implement this but will definatly try it. The problems I have come across. I have managed to get the standard X Window to work on a CRT but when it comes to a LCD, an annoying message output by the LCD appears "Input not Compatible" though the graphics work! I managed to get this to disappear when I install a desktop like XFCE. The system is not likely to need heavy grahic requirments though It should support CNET Network Simulator, Open office and Jpeg images at the most, and the flash macromedia based material from the CCNA curriculum course. I will proceed later this week and post the results. Thanks

It will work on pretty much any system, but only because it's the absolute lowest common denominator. The generic VESA driver might also be worth investigating - like VGA, it should work on most hardware by virtue of being an old standard, but supports higher resolutions and colour depths. I've never used it myself though, so can't offer any advice. Information on both should be available somewhere on the Xorg or XFree86 websites.
