to run Xconfigurator simply type it in OR
run setup . Setup will allow to modify
several things. Don't worry when ya
run it, it doesn't run anything untill
you select a 'tool' to run. Mouse,services,
Xconfig,firewall, and a couple of others.

You 24bit can solved (maybe) by ajusting
what you are telling you monitor. I have
10 monitors and Red Hat all.all don't
really like but one I have (with the crappy
2mg s3 card I have) After I put on my HPs50
everything was good and x would start.

What's funny is that it would work fine on install and not after. But once I changed
to the HPs50 it works everytime.

Hope it helps some anyway.
