Hello,
There is a JAVA program called "Electric VLSI Design System" which
might be of interest. There is also BRL Cad. I do not know how well
they work on Linux.

Are there any open source options for decent computer aided design
- circuit
boards, electronic schematics, and some machine drawings -
available for
Linux? I keep looking and even compiling but I haven't found
anything I can
afford. Yeah. . there are things like Pro-Engineer which are way
out of my
price range.
KiCAD may be what you are looking for. It's available for Windows,
Linux and,
probably via Fink or MacPorts also for Mac OS X.
http://iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/kicad/ – Authors' homepage.
http://kicad.sourceforge.net/ – at SourceForge (a Wiki basically).
You may find others. Most Linux distros will have some free CAD
applications
in their corresponding repositories. I'd look there first.
Other sources include the Open Directory, like at dmoz.org:
http://www.dmoz.org/Science/Technology/Electronics/CAD/Electronic_Design_Automation/PCB_Design/
Problem will probably be that you cannot open your MiniCAD/
Vectorworks files
with other CAD software. But isn't there a way to use AutoCAD DXF
files? They
are a defacto-standard, right?

XRandR looks interesting but off topic for this group, I' m on my
way.
I hope you find what you're looking for.
