Description Josef El-Rayes 2003-07-20 23:50:10 UTC
		XFree86 -configure is not the only way to configure XFree86,
it comes with 2 handy applications, xf86cfg & xf86config.

This part should be at the end of the 5.4.2 section, not in the middle
of the configuration with "XFree86 -configure".
About xf86config, this later is deprecated, and xf86cfg is the preferred
tool, we should only talk about this one.

I committed a slightly different version of your patch: 
- I put the whole text between note tags 
- I used a manual page entity for xf86cfg(1) 
- I changed "XFree86-4-Server" for "XFree86 4.X distribution" to not 
confuse the reader. 
- And then I added a direct reference to the manual page. 
Thanks for your submission.
