DOH!  There is to many X program and files out there, X this and X that.
Sorry my bad, it is called `XF86Setup` and is basically a GUI config tool
for X.  I've seen it on allot of newer distro's lately.  It isn't distro
specific like sax is with SuSE.  IMHO `XF86Setup` is easier to use to config
X then doing a `vi /etc/XF86Config` (that is where I got that file name :)
or running though `xf86config`.  But will work and are perfectly valid ways
of config-ing X, I just personal like `XF86Setup` better.

Sorry I should of said `XF86Setup`, my bad.

I can spell Unix commands fine, provided I remember what the command is
called!
