If you complete all hardware setup, save the configuration file. Now execute the X-window. Even though you setup all above procedure, the X-Window can't run. If the X-window doesn't run properly, you have modify the x86config file as follows.

Now run the X-Window. It says to go to the x86config file. How do I get to the file? It also says to re place the # with the value of bandwith. What is that? 2.Using the monitor installation diskette - Open the Xf86Config file with Linux Editor. - Move to [Monitor] Section. - After you select the monitor model in your install diskette, copy the data of HorizSync and VertRefresh to XF86Config. - Disable the resolution using the # at ModeLine. And after you select the monitor model in your install diskette, copy the data of ModeLine to XF86Config. How do I do this?
