As root type in the command: X -configure

This will let X create the config file for you in the root directory.
Then run the command that appears for testing.
If you get a large grey screen with a moving mouse then hit
control alt backspace to close X. Then copy the XF86Config.new
file in the root dir to /etc/X11/ and give the command "startx" without the quotes.
This will start up Xwindows with the window manager TWM.


cheers,
dave
