XF86Setup is the best one). if it doesn't work, please file bugs either in the bts or to me directly. just "didn't work" doesn't help, i'm afriad. > After the server is configured, there's "one" more problem...

It provides the best configuration of them all...

If you ran anXious (assuming it worked) it should have everything set up for you. You *don't* need a ~/.xsession for X to work with a window manager and an xterm.
