Configuration files are (usually) stored in /etc . There's a standard lay out for the filesystems called the File System Standard Hierarchy (FSSH) which distributions try to adhere to. I can't remember off-hand the webpage for it, but you should find it easily by Google. > > I have read this config file can be edited via a text editor (vi?) and > changed to put in my graphics card information. If I could just find > the file . . . Another command to try and find things on your system is "locate". This depends on your distribution having an update-database and the command "updatedb", I don't know if SuSE includes these, but probably it does. First, become root: [moore]$ su root Password:xxxxxxx [root]# updatedb (this step may take a few minutes depending on your harddrive speed and size). [root]# exit [moore]$ locate XF86Config Anyway, it'll probably be in /etc/X11 You should look at the HOWTO's and FAQs at www.linuxdoc.org Best wishes, -Oisin _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
