at command prompt: dpkg -p xfree86-common | grep 'Version:' This uses dpkg to show the entry for xfree86-common (base package of xfree86) then pipes output through grep to only display the version information. You should see something like 3.3.6 or 4.0.?. Further configuration depends upon which version you have. For 3.3.6 look into configuration options with: 'man XF86Config' or 'man XF86Setup' which will give configuration explanations for two common programs to set up X. I don't know about 4.0.2, but these might have changed somewhat. > > but i tried the command you wrote and it said bash : xfree86 : command not > found Maybe you don't have all the necessary xfree86 packages installed or their location is not in you path (see 'echo $PATH') > > did i make smth wrong?
