Re: HELP: X window Setup Problem

[Patrick Olson <compman@internetcds.com>]

There are several ways to do this:

1. Write the XF86Config file manually (not a lot of fun!)
2. Install package "XF86Setup" and run it (graphical set up program)
3. run "xf86config" (not so nice as the graphical program, but will make
you a config file)

Hope this helps,
Patrick
