5. Fixing the XF86Config file

Use an editor to look at the XF86Config file. Here are some things that may need to be changed:

• If you are running an operating system which has built-in mouse support, you'll want to change the Pointer section. Specifically, you should set the Protocol to OSMouse (SCO) or Xqueue (SVR4, some SVR3) and you should remove the Device line.
• If you are running a system with the Xqueue event driver and would like to use it, change the Protocol setting in the Keyboard section to Xqueue.

Once you are satisfied that the configuration is correct, copy the XF86Config file to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 and run the 'startx' command.

You should now have a running X server. If it's running but the display doesn't look as good as you think it should (i.e. it doesn't fill the whole screen, it's off-center, it's wrapping around on one side, etc.) see the section on xvidtune. If there is some other problem, see the troubleshooting section.
