Depends which Linux distribution you're using and which version of
XFree you have installed. It's much easier in the later versions
(XFree 3.1 upwards)

Normally the ConfigXF86 documentation file can be found in

/usr/X11R6/lib/ConfigXF86
/usr/X386/lib/ConfigXF86

The file that does the business is in

/usr/lib/X11

and called XF86Config

Read the Docs before doing anything.

I also suggest you run 'SuperProbe', to find out the exact chip-set on your
graphics card.
