Did you try dexconf?

I did now. It just did nothing - no error message, no output of any
kind, nothing.

Is it just me or was it easier when stuff wasn't dumbed down to
'attract windows users'? I was never very quick, bit when I had to find
out I could - I mean at least the docs were up to date so RTFM was
actually a useful suggestion....if only I could find it (or an uptodate
version)!

I've been stumped before trying to configure X on an old sarge system.
What solved my problem when all else failed was.... to load knoppix,
then extract the needed info from knoppix's X config file. Ugly, but
effective.
