Hi,

I am a Linux neophyte and I have had the same problem as Ben. YDL
2.0 is installed and running on my TiBook but X windows wont run
because of a bad resolution setting, I think. I can login as root or
another user but, being a complete neophyte, I don't even know how to
load/install/find or run the Xconfigurator or Xautoconfig program. I
would really appreciate help walking me through this. TIA,

Jack
