[plug] configuring X on my laptop

[David & Lisa Buddrige]

Hi all,

Thanks for your time.  I got X going (at last); I compiled and installed
Xfree4.2, and then ran the command:

    X -configure

which creates an XF86Config.new file in /root/

I then copied this to /etc/X11/XF86Config and presto... one working X
system.

cheers all

David.
