Yea, Tom has great advice. You should be able to reuse XF86Config* files across distros, assuming that they're all using the same version of XFree86.

Search your system for more than one copy of XF86Config*.
man XF86Config tells the story of the search path xfree uses to find it.
Maybe you have more than one copy on your system & are editing the wrong
one. I copy my Caldera one into my Gentoo system, works great.

I've just installed RH 7.3 on a system and need to adjust the screen so it's centered. I am running two system connected to a common monitor/keyboard via a KVM switch from BlackBox. One system is Caldera 3.1 and it centers fine at the frequency. The RH system is off to the right a little. I've used xvidtune and xf86cfg to set the values in XF86Config-4 and get the screen centered. However, when I reset the X server (ctl-alt-bkspace) or restart the system the screen comes back to what it was before the change.

Is XF86Config used anymore? It's a separate file in /etc/X11 on RH 7.3 and is NOT linked to XF86Config-4 unlike has XF86Config in /etc and XF86Config-4 in /etc/X11.

I've even edited XF86Config-4 to have the same values as the Caldera system with no luck. Why don't the values in XF86Config-4 stick?
