Find the manufacturer of your video card (or at least of the chip set in your video card) and select that link to find out if your card is supported or if a workaround is needed. Understanding the XF86Config file The XF86Config file (located in the /etc/X11 directory) contains definitions used by the X server to use your video card, keyboard, mouse, and monitor. In general, novice users should not edit this file directly, but rather, use Xconfigurator to change its contents. For some video cards, however, there is a need for some manual configuration to get the card working properly. The following is a description of the basic information contained in the XF86Config file: Files section Sets the locations of the RGB (color) and fonts databases. Server flags section Allows you to disable abort and mode switching key sequences (usually you will leave this section alone).
