Using Xconfigurator in other distro

_stef_ · 04-30-2002, 02:50 AM

Is it posible to instal and use Xconfigurator in Slackware Linux?

In my Slackware it's installed by default

In slack you can just do "xf86config"

I know what you write but let's try to rephraze my question.

Can I install and use Xconfigurator on Slackware?
It is much easier to use it then xf86config... No need to edit files manually...

Aha...well....buggered if I know, I've always just used xf86config.
Why don't you try downloading the source and building it?

I will try but I wondered if someone did it before me... Just not to lose time on nothing...

Thanx, I will inform you with progress...

You can probably convert rpm into tgz archive with tools available in Slack and go ffrom there, so I guess you'll need to download a source rpm for Xconfigurator.
Good luck.

Try with rpm file, convert it using alien and install.
