I received my I7K (15" screen which I really do like a *lot*) about a week
ago. Based on the recommendations I read about in this mailing list, I went
ahead and ordered the Xi graphics Server. It should be arriving today. In
the meantime I did manage to boot off a bootable slackware CD and type
"xstart" and lo and behold an Xserver started up! Things weren't alligned
properly, but I was impressed that I was able to get that much, *just* from
booting from the CD.
