I find that the graphical tool (xf86cfg) that comes with X 4.x is utter
crap and locks up my machine more often than not. There's the text
interface, xf86config. I've also found that 'XFree86 -configure' tends
to give you a very reasonable starting point that you can fine-tune with
a text editor. (It places the file in $HOME/XF86Config.new (usually
when you're doing this, $HOME is ~root), and you can test it with
'XFree86 -xf86config $HOME/XF86Config.new'.)
