The primary adapter seems to be  the  built  in one.  I set it  to  monochrome mode because I couldn't disable  it  and in VGA mode it only has 1 Meg of memory.  The secondary one is the Mach32 in a ISA slot.  (Actually  I tried a Rendition V1000-E with similar results).  The problem seems to be when xf86cfg and xf86config configure for the primary.  But I solved the  problem by installing LTSP (www.ltsp.org) software.  It is faster anyway as the hard disk is slow.  Now the computer is just an X terminal (hard disk disconnected).
