Re: Make xconfig

[AJ <artlu@intergrafix.net>]

either type 'startx' as root then when your in Xwindows start an xterm:
cd /usr/src/linux
make xconfig

or if your a normal user in xwindows type:
xhost + localhost  (note you must have X started to do this)
su root
cd /usr/src/linux
make xconfig

hope this helps,

AJ
