fc3 will be xorg. there is no command to get "into" the config, but the config file will be named differently if that's what you mean. /etc/X11/XF86Config vs /etc/X11/xorg.conf

thanks for clarifying the Xorg, but what i mean is in RH9 i can type xf86config in the terminal and it will run the config file allowing me the multiple choice for configuring the comp but it doesnt work in fc3. will i have to edit the config file manually in Xorg

xorgconfig

Hi,

I think what you want is system-config-display. It lives in /usr/bin on my FC3 system. (It is the utility used to create the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" configuration file)

try autoconfiguring it to see if it can work by itself
X -configure

X -xf86config /root/xorg.new;

cp /root/xorg.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
