On the matter of XF86Setup, has this program been fixed? In 1.2 release,
XF86Setup writes it's configuration file (XF86Config) to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11.
The problem is that the XF86Config at that location is a symbolic link to
/etc/X11/XF86Config and the Xwindow servers use /etc/X11/XF86Config. So after
you use XF86Setup, the symbolic link is trashed and the configuration file is
in the wrong location. I manually fix this by:
1) copying /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config to /etc/X11
2) deleting /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config
3) renaming the symbolic link back to XF86Config (in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11)
