Amigo and Slackware both come with several XF86Config files. The extras are examples or helpful default setups for using the VESA server, etc.
The file that gets read and used when you run X is:
/etc/X11/XF86Config
If you need to manually edit settings, just open this file in your favorite text editor -save a backup copy first! Then make whatever changes you need to make.
After saving the file, you'll have to restart X for any changes to take effect. The easiest way to do that is to press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE all at the same time to kill X. Then type 'startx' in the console to restart X.
As far as how and what to edit, you can ask more specifically here, or search the LinuxQuestions Slackware forum for (probably) many postings on your question.
Be aware, the XF86Config used in Amigo-2.0 is generated by a program called mkxf86config when you first run Amigo. The format is different from the standard Slackware ones, but any configuration tips or advice still apply the same. Also, the configuration may be different, depending on which configuration method you chose during firstrun.
/etc/X11/XF86Config and /etc/fstab are the main configuration files which are auto configured when you run Amigo the first time. You can even have Amigo re-do this 'firstrun' configuration without re-installing.
Search this forum for postings about that.
