On my distribution (Red Hat 6.0) it's in /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86Setup
There's also /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config which is Red Hat's version of the
config program.

You probably want to kill X before you run the setup; hit
ctrl-alt-backspace to get out of the Xserver and into a shell. You
probably have to run the config programs as root, so login as root, or
"su" to root.

Try thisone:

and

man find

Good luck.

Hello, well I could not find that file .. even using the command

find / -iname XF86Setup

I have a Creative Labs Banshee got the driver from
http://developer.soundblaster.com/linux/

and it works.... guess I shall have to read MORE and manually configure X
myself..
