Hi=20

  firstley log onto a console as root and cd to /etc/X11/  . Then look fo=
r=20
your XF86Conrig file. This could be named differently depending on which=20
version of XFree you are useing or which distrobution you have installed.=
 for=20
instance it might be called XF86Config for anything version 3 or under or=
=20
XF86Config-4 for version 4 so then type, vim [what ever you  XF86Config i=
s=20
realy called]. you can use vi but i fond vim easer. use the "insert" butt=
on=20
to enable you to type and to save prese escape a couple of times and then=
=20
":wq" (this should appear near the bottom) or just ":q" to quit.=20
 make the changes as nessary. the file you attached looks like a version =
4=20
config file to me, but you`ll have to compare it witht he one you have.

 good luck

 scott
