<p>The second way to configure X is to use <tt class="COMMAND">xorgsetup</tt>, an
automagical configuration program that comes with Slackware.</p>

<p>To run <tt class="COMMAND">xorgsetup</tt>, log in as root and type:</p>

<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<pre class="SCREEN">
<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">xorgsetup</kbd>
</pre>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<p>If you've already got an <tt class="FILENAME">/etc/X11/xorg.conf</tt> file (because
you've already configured X), you'll be asked if you want to backup the existing config
file before continuing. The original file will be renamed to <tt
class="FILENAME">/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup</tt>.</p>
