Hi,

I have a quick question for you guys. I just installed Xfree via portage and it compiled with no error. When I try to use startx it tells me it can't find the config file. I'm guessing its talking about the /etc/x11/xfree86config (or something similar)
Are there any other config files to be edited? Also, I read on the website of Xfree that there is a small utility to setup your xfree automatically... where is it and how do i run it?!

Thanks alot in advance :)

If you run
Code:
X -configure
it will build you the config file and normally few changes need making. The config file is /etc/X11/XF86Config.
Hope this helps,
Jon
