## 5. Fixing the XF86Config file

Use an editor to look at the `XF86Config` file. Here are some things that may need to be changed:

- If you are running an operating system which has built-in mouse support, you'll want to change the `Pointer` section. Specifically, you should set the `Protocol` to `OSMouse` (SCO) or `Xqueue` (SVR4, some SVR3) and you should remove the `Device` line.
- If you are running a system with the Xqueue event driver and would like to use it, change the `Protocol` setting in the `Keyboard` section to `Xqueue`.

Once you are satisfied that the configuration is correct, copy the XF86Config file to `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11` and run the 'startx' command.

You should now have a running X server. If it's running but the display doesn't look as good as you think it should (i.e. it doesn't fill the whole screen, it's off-center, it's wrapping around on one side, etc.) see the section on `xvidtune`. If there is some other problem, see the troubleshooting section.
