All of them are in /etc/X11, but there are now both XF86Config and xorg.conf files to deal with. They seem to be pretty much copies of each other. I'm assuming for compatibility reasons. Someone with greater knowledge than me could certainly explain this better.

I've found the automated "XFree86 -configure" to be more useful than any of the XFree86 provided interactive tools. If you have a monitor and video card made in the past 4-5 years there's no need to deal with sync rates, memory addresses, chip numbers, and all that other nonsense done by xf86config. If you do need to twiddle with those things then prepare to edit XF86Config. Also bear in mind that XFree86 has been abandoned for some time by most of the Linux distros since the 4.4 license change. Nearly all references to xfree86 and xf86 have been cleansed from FC2 development. -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
