I installed the XFree86 binary distribution for ISC from utexas.edu.
When I start X:

X386 Version 1.2E 1.0.2  / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
(using VT number 3)
.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
giving up.
<xinit GASPs and DIEs, unable to connect to server>

I'm running INTERACTIVE UNIX version 3.0 on a Micronics 386/33 w/16MB
RAM and a Trident TVGA8900C w/1MB RAM. I've upped the STREAMs tunables,
created more pts devices, linked new kernel, etc. all according to the
docs. I've tried several permutations of Xconfig (included after my
.sig). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
