If you're using version 8, I believe it's XF86Config-4.

Well, I know when I first setup "xf86config" (which does work for me) - I was confused on the settings. Took me awhile to figure out everything that worked well with my computer without destroying it in the process.

However, once you have made sure you have ALL THE CORRECT SETTINGS (this is vitally important - and it's different for each system, so you'll have to discover the settings on your own) - then you can *probably* type in the following. (This is what has worked with every system I have ever used.)


startx -- -bpp 32

Never a problem since then.
