OK, so I'm away from a linux machine at the moment (unfortunately), so I can't double check. But, assuming you have X4, you just type: X -configure If you use both X3.3.6 (or whatever) and X4, I'm not sure what your X wrapper points to. In that case, you'd use xfree86 -configure explicitly. This will generate a candidate config file in your current directory named XF86Config-4. To test the config file, I believe you can do X -xf86config $cwd/XF86Config-4. I use an ATI card with the rage 128 engine and have had no trouble, but it seems like the radeon has been more problematic. :-( Tim
