9.1. I want to run X, how do I go about it?

The easiest way is to simply specify that you want to run X during the installation process.

Then read and follow the documentation on the xf86config tool, which assists you in configuring XFree86(tm) for your particular graphics card/mouse/etc.

You may also wish to investigate the Xaccel server, which is available at a very reasonable price. See the section on Xi Graphics for more details.
