Call me blind or something, but I can't find this. Is there a typical dir
where it normally lives? I did find /etc -name 'xf86Config' and also in /usr
with a couple of variations but nothing turned up.

I did use xfdrake (I think that's right) but the options available (which
card, resolution, etc.), didn't look encouraging. There was a huge list of
monitors to choose from and I tried a couple of typical ones, but got the
same message: "There appears to be an error. Try changing something". Not
that helpful... Maybe I just need to be more persistent?

thanks for your time.
David
