No, you need to read through your documentation and come up with : your own config file. Since you're asking this question, it's pretty : clear you haven't read one bit of the documentation on setting up X. Have a look at xf8config -- it will ask you a series of questions, and generate a config file for you. Only things you have to look watch out for is monitor timings, really. If you're unsure, just use the conservative defaults. -- -= Mark Stiebel =- stiebelm@lion.cs.latrobe.edu.au
