You can use xf86config, its text based.
Things you should know before running it:
Which device your mouse is on
The horizontal and vertical sync of your monitor(should be in the manual)
What type of video card you have
How many KB of ram on it(you convert from megs)
What type of keyboard
I may have missed something:)
If you get stuck, just his ctrl-c and it will exit.
Good luck
Ian
