XF86Setup

XF86Setup

The second way to configure X is to use XF86Setup, a graphical configuration program that comes as part of the xset.tgz package. You'll also need to install the xvg16.tgz package.

To run XF86Setup, log in as root and type:

   # XF86Setup

If you've already got an /etc/XF86Config file (because you've already configured X), you'll be asked if you want to use the existing XF86Config file for defaults. Otherwise, it'll switch right into graphics mode.

XF86Setup is very similar to xf86config. It asks the same kind of questions, but presents them in a graphical environment. If you are wondering what one of the questions means, refer to the previous section for information. XF86Setup has a lot of help as well, so you should not have any difficulties in figuring it out.
