Apologies for being dumb.
Is there a howto on getting XFree86 installed and working.
Ive read the info page for XFree86.dsl and XFree86config.dsl but it doesnt make much sense to a nOOb like me.
I have a Nvidia Mainboard, Nvidia FX Graphics card, Athlon 3200 & 1 Gig Ram.
Hope someone can help - thanks in advance!

It's not difficult (there is also a readme file in the repository).
If I remember it correctly, you will only have to mount the .dsl and copy, edit and rename the XF86Config-4 included in the Xfree86.dsl

*BZZZZZT*

Wrong section folks. Questions, etc, about extensions go in the appropriate MyDSL forum area.

Oops. Sorry. I did say I was dumb! lol

This is what I get when I follow (as I read it) the Mydsl info;

  /home/dsl/.xserverrc: line1: /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 : No such file or directory
  /home/dsl/.xserverrc: line1: exec: /usr/X11R6/bin/Xfree86 : Cannot execute
  Giving up

I can then run xsetup.sh and startx as normal

What am I doing wrong? Please help I cant take much more 60Hz.  :O
