Re: XF86Setup in Woody?
I just started reading this thread, but...I think I can help.
Install the package xbase-clients
then run xf86config
It's the best X config utility I've seen.
And make sure xbase-clients, xfree86-common, and xserver-xfree86 are all
version 4.0.3-4.
The config file will be /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.
