Not a bad deal, if I haven't been away from the market too long.

This is probably the monitor's fault. It may not be in perfect working
order. A Sun workstation and Sun monitor should produce a clear image at
all times, since the system is always in "graphics mode", even when only
text is displayed on the screen.

If you've installed Solaris 7, you shouldn't need to install the free
X11R6. Solaris 7 comes with CDE. X11R6 is something you may want to do
in the future, but it's more headaches and confusion than a newbie like
you needs.

Solaris 7 includes Bourne, C, and Korn shells. Leave the shell on the
root account alone, but you can change the default shell for users by
executing "passwd -e" while logged in as that user.

The turboGX is another version of the venerable CG6, which is an 8-bit
accelerated framebuffer capable of 1152x900 maximum resolution. You're
limited to 256 colors irregardless, and a maximum resolution of
1152x900. There are no configuration files; resolution can be turned
down in the PROM (at the ok prompt).
