Hello, I am brand new to Linux and would really appreciate any help anybody can \
give me.  I just completed my first Linux install of Slackware 10.0 with the new \
XFree86 4.4.0

  I have a Diamond Stealth 111 S540 graphics card with a Savage 4 chipset.  \
Apparently this card uses the SVGA Xserver.  During Slackware installation, or when I \
run xorgconfig, there is no option of which X servers to install or use.  
My questions are, how can I find out which Xserver my machine is using and how do I \
confugure Slackware to use the proper server.  

K.J.M.
