For the former, edit /etc/X11/Xf86Config, for the second /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The latter is described in man xorg.conf. The former similarly, I think. -Enrique |

I recommend strongly against directly editing that file for newbies. Most distributions have a built-in X configuraiton tool. On RedHat and Fedora recent releases, it is called "system-config-display" and should be run as the root user in runlevel 1 or runlevel 3. |

| Re: x server Here are instructions for two more distributions. The Debian set is the most generic and should work on many distributions. These are off the top of my head so bear with me... On SuSE Linux run as root: /sbin/init 3 then sax2 Select the resolution you want, color depth, and the monitor and card you have installed in the machine. Then test and save if it works. On Debian I do not recall if there is a graphical configuration tool. Run as root: Ctrl-Alt-F1 Login as root. ps auwx | grep dm | less Look for one of the following processes: xdm, kdm, or gdm /etc/init.d/kdm stop or /etc/init.d/gdm stop or /etc/init.d/xdm stop /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config Answer the various questions according to what hardware you have (use /dev/psauwx as the device for a ps/2 mouse) To test run: X To exit type: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace If you did not get a grey screen with small black X in the middle in the last step you need to repeat with new settings the xf86config step and the testing step. -Adam > I recommend strongly against directly editing that file for newbies.
