5 Fixing the XF86Config file

Contents of this section

Use an editor to look at the XF86Config file. Here are some things that may need to be changed:

Once you are satisfied that the configuration is correct, copy the XF86Config file to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 and run the 'startx' command.

You should now have a running X server. If it's running but the display doesn't look as good as you think it should (i.e. it doesn't fill the whole screen, it's off-center, it's wrapping around on one side, etc.) see the section on xvidtune. If there is some other problem, see the troubleshooting section.
