X Windows: Installation questions



I've just started initiating myself to Linux, and I have a few questions
installing the XWindows system.

My relevant system specs are:

Logitech FirstMouse 3buttons
S3 ViRGE 325 PCI video card
Canopus Pure3D 3Dfx accelerator 3D card
Azura JEN0B00 monitor

Here are my questions:

1) Running xf86config, How can I find what to answer to the RAMDAC question?

2) Looking through the packages site, I found that the SVGA server is
favored over the S3V server, Why?

3) After goign through the entire xf86config process, (and givin no answer
to the RAMDAC question), the config file is broken, and the xserver does not
recognize the line "Viewport    0 0". What does that line mean, and what is
the problem?

4) What X client is favorable, I mean, is there one in particular gaining
attention and support, or is it just personnal taste?

5) Since I'm using Litestep (http://www.litestep.net) in Win95, I'll
probably be using AfterStep in Xwindows, Where can I find the wharfs/*.app
things?
