Yes i have seen this behaviour and it has been asked a few times before, but
possably in another context, normaly when XF86Setup fails, running
"xf86config" will get you a lot beter results, it is a text based program
with yes/no or simply, hit enter to continue sort of program, i suggest you
try it. Have the doc's of your hardware handy when you run it.
