	Thanx for so much of the responses.  I've installed the VGA
	card on the XT system without changing any setting.  Hopefully
	the monitor did not explode on my face.  It seems to work great!
	Sorry, I could not reply to some of you, cuz' the mail kept on 
	bouncing back for some reason.

	Again, thanx.
