Well, I totally would use XFree86 -configure and then tweak the code. But XFree86 -configure just quits on me. Any ideas on how I could work around that. I have reseached everywhere I can find on the internet with google. I just seem to be at a loss. I don't mean to be one of those users who needs their hand held, but really clear instucts would help. I'm still picking this stuff up.
