   To set up your config file you will have to run xf86config.  Wile
   running that you will be prompted about your system --- be careful
   with your monitor settings and your video card settings they can
   really*you up (thats where I am now).   & don't forget to read
   the monitor spec manuals --- don't want to fry our monitors now do we :)

You need to run at configure program to set up Xwindows to use
the right screen, videocard, mouse and so on. I think you should
type the command : xf86config.

You can also du it the hard way, and edit the file /etc/XF86Config -
but the other way is much more easy...

Morgan,

Make sure you have a XF86Config file on the /etc directory (assuming you are
using XFree86 3.1.1 or later). Also, read the README.Config X doc (on
/usr/X*/doc) and the XF86Config man page.

Good Luck !
