Not quite as gui-friendly, but you can get X itself to generate a xorg.conf configuration file: X -configure :1 # the :1 avoids conflicts with existing X server if any You can review /root/xorg.conf.new to see if the options are to your liking. To install it: mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf -Chris -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
