Thanks for the helpful reoly.

However, I'm afraid I need a bit bigger clue. I can't seem to find a man
page (or executable) for videogen on my machine. Searching through the
XF86Config-4 man page for videogen also came up blank. 

This tool sounds exaclty like what I need though. Do I need to add a
package to my machien to get this utility?
