If you want to learn about commands have a look at "Linux in a
Nutshell" from O'Reilly (IMHO O'Reilly is always a good choice)
But there is also much documentation on the Web i.e

You should describe more precisely what goes wrong.
The main config-file for XF86 is /etc/X11/XF86Config. It is generated
by programs like XF86Setup.
If XF86 works then gnome should work out of the box. I don't know much
about Framebuffers, sorry.
