[KLUG Members] Xwindows error

I get the following error when I use the command startx.

Fatal Server Error: (aren't they always)
open_framebuffer: failed to open /dev/fb0 (No such Device)

I'm running Slackware 7.1 on an old 233 AMD box.  I have no idea what
hardware is in there, and I'm a newbie (speak slow not loud...and use
little words if possible).

Also how do I capture the entire output when using a command.

I tried 
startx -> somefile
but that just created and empty file called somefile.
As always, a thousand thanks in advance,
