I did this and after typing startx it now says it can't find the config
file in /var/log/XFree86.0.log. Where should the config file be?

I have already tried to modify this file. I now have:
screen  0       -       vt100
screen  1       -       vt100
screen  2       -       vt100
screen  3       -       vt100
screen  4       -       -
screen  5       -       -
screen  6       -       -
screen  7       -       -

I am still getting the same error.

Also, even if I use find / -name "gdm.conf", I can't find a config file.
Would it be possible to for you to send me some working configs?

Thanks,
Al
