 Thanks , I ran the ConfigXF86-940504.tar version . I also 
noticed that the documentation for Xfree86 talked about config 
readme files and some .X***** files that were not where they 
said they should be . I'm not sure if the Setup script file 
installed everything or if the version of software and Doc's are 
not matched.
 I'm going to hack away at it and see what I can find > ireally 
appreciate all the feedback here , thanks alot.
