Probing Monitor from Postconfig

[Bill (William) Triest]

I hesitate to post postconfig since its VERY LONG and it really needs to
be cleaned up (I just started this job in April).  I don't even see
where they are setting up x, so I think that might be the problem (I
keep assuming of course they would setup x).  If I run xconfig from a
terminal (after su - and typing the password) I get a command not
found.  Is that really the program I run for Red Hat Enterprise?  If not
can anyone tell me what it is for Enterprise?

Thanks for the help, at least now I'm getting some where.
