    I'll ask him, but why not just boot to the CD instead of using VMware?

    He told me that the config file is created each time you boot by kudzoo, he is also getting ready to re-release the cd with a Fedora 2 core instead of the RH 9 core its using now

    he might want to have a generic config file maybe in /etc/X11 just incase this happens and all Id have to do is recreate the config file or edit it. I also found that xf86config isnt there either to recreate the config file
