RE: XConfig

["J.T. Wenting" <LinuxOperator@hornet.demon.nl>]

You need (or at least I needed) to manually set the server to use (I think
it is in the xserverrc file, or something like that), it took me quite a
while before I had figured out why X would not start in a high-res mode :)

Ok, just download the x-base and xserver packages that fit your video
card, and other dependencies.
Then, login as root ( still in consile mode, you can not run X without
configuring it first) and type xf86config
THis will run a config program that will let you configure video
card/monitor/keyboard/mouse for X.

HTH,
