  <H2><A NAME="28"></A>5. Fixing the XF86Config file</H2>
<p>Use an editor to look at the <code>XF86Config</code> file. Here are
some things that may need to be changed:
<ul>
<li>If you are running an operating system which has
built-in mouse support, you'll want to change the
<code>Pointer</code> section.  Specifically, you should set
the <code>Protocol</code> to <code>OSMouse</code> (SCO) or <code>Xqueue</code>
(SVR4, some SVR3) and you should remove the <code>Device</code>
line.</li>
<li>If you are running a system with the Xqueue event driver
and would like to use it, change the <code>Protocol</code>
setting in the <code>Keyboard</code> section to <code>Xqueue</code>.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Once you are satisfied that the configuration is correct, copy
the XF86Config file to <code>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11</code> and run
the 'startx' command.</p>
<p>You should now have a running X server.  If it's running but
the display doesn't look as good as you think it should (i.e.
it doesn't fill the whole screen, it's off-center, it's wrapping
around on one side, etc.) see the section on <code>xvidtune</code>.
If there is some other problem, see the troubleshooting section.</p>
