setting up x11 and xfree

Hi,

    I have just installed Linux on my pc and would like to be able to use x11
and xfree.  Problem is, I can't find anything that tells me how to set things
up.  When I try to start x, I get "couldn't find config file."  Where is the
document that tells me what should be in this config file?  Also, is there a
setup program like you get with MS Windows?  Will I have to do a similar
procedure with xfree?

Thanx,

Bill

Look in /usr/lib/X11/etc. If you're lucky, there should be a bunch of
README files in there. The most important file in there is
README.Config.
