I want to buy a 386 system with at least 1024x768 resolution screen and I want to run X11 under Unix. Is there a Unix/Card combination that works, preferably at a reasonable cost?

For fast X graphics I suggest a smart video board like the NEC graphics engine.. -- Larry Snyder, Northern Star Communications, Notre Dame, IN USA {larry@nstar, uunet!sco!romed!nstar!larry, nstar!larry@ndmath.math.nd.edu} backbone usenet newsfeeds available Public Access Unix Site (219) 289-0282 (5 high speed lines)

I am currently running Interactive Unix 2.2 with the latest Interactive version of X11 (1.2). I achive 1024x768 with 256 colors on a NEC 4 and 5d monitor with a STB PowerGraph VGA adapter (1024k). The vga adapter sold for $250, and is a DIRECT replacement for the STB VGA EM-16 Plus with 1024k. Interactive X11 directly supports the above configuration. There is a list of around 10 vga adapters that Interactive supports in the 1024x768x256 mode but I have found the STB to work the best.
