All right I ran the package installer and all, that was fairly straight forward. I need help editing the config files. How Do I edit the files in console so that ...
If you have a working X config file for a different driver (such as the "nv"
or "vesa" driver), then simply edit the file as follows.
With a GUI editor you should be able to use the menus. In Slack I
run my workstation with Fluxbox, and use pico to edit most things.
