First, thank you to those who were kind enough to take the time to
answer my questions regarding CVS, XF-4, and compiling it. I did
as instructed and everything has turned out pretty good.
I ran "XFree86 -configure", which generated my XF86Config.new file.
I changed it to suit my resolution/color depth preferences and I
added the HorizSync & VertRefresh for my monitor in the "Monitor"
section. I then copied it to /etc/X11/XF86Config and ran "startx".
Everything looks good and my mouse is working. The only bad thing is
that this set up my system with a 85Mhz refresh rate instead of the
75Mhz rate I would rather have.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? The tutorials that I have read
so far does not address what to do in this case. (If this is better
asked elsewhere, please let me know.) In case it is helpful, I am
appending my XF86Config to the bottom of this email.
Thanks again,
Jeff Flowers
