I have been trying to get the ConfigXF86 program to 
configure my Xfree86 setup. It seems to run Ok but I can't use 
the [t]une option when it's done because it tells me that the 
/tmp file does not exist. Also it does not create an XF86Config
file , it creates an Xconfig file which the startx script 
doesn't see. I used the example file (XF86Config.eg)as my config 
file and got past the error saying " No config file found" but it 
has other errors about not having the proper settings for video 
configuration. I copied the Xconfig file created by the 
ConfigXF86 program to the XF86Config file and ran startx , it 
seems that the config file is mising lots of important header 
information because I'm getting lots of errors about improper 
section and the like. 
 Is this commonn ? The documentation makes it seem relatively
straight forward to do this setup. Also I am missing lots of 
online files that my doc's ( Linux Pro compendium ) say should be 
in the X11 directory systems. I ran the setup program and 
installed all of the Xfree86 stuff . This is pretty frustrating
doeas anyone have any insight to what I'm doing wrong ?
 Thanks in advance .
