[techtalk] xf86config....

[moebius at ip-solutions.net]

Hey There,
	A couple different ways to rerun the X setup. You can do it from
the setup utility choose Xsetup there. You can run xf86config(my favorite)
or you can run Xconfigurator. In any event the thing that you really need
to know are you video card, monitor refresh (you can usually guess unless
it's an old monitor that might get fried from a high refresh). If you have
trouble let me know and I'll send you a config based on your system.
HTH,
