Hmmm... I want to configure X on my system. Last time I tried it I ran into three obstacles (besides the access one): I did not know the specs of my video card, I did not know the specs of my monitor, and it told me I needed to be using frame buffers. I have the data I need for the first two obstacles, which leaves me with the frame buffer thing. Maybe I better look further into that.
