I couldn't find XF86Setup, and XF86Config exists as xf86config not
XF86Config. I'll try Xconfigurator. According to a friend's instructions, I
tried setupx, but that also doesn't exist. Surprisingly no help or command
existed for 'unmount' also! Further, which monitor type should I select? My
monitor is a BPL ER 14 CSV (yuck!!), and what is hsync rate and how do I
find it out?
Yesterday on some site I read that selecting SiS86C215 will work for
SiS6215C... I'm eager to try, only if I could solve the gdm murder mystery -
its headline always pops up when I'm booted in mode 5!
