CLASS="QUOTE"
>"XFree="</SPAN

> to <TT
CLASS="filename"

CLASS="filename"

CLASS="filename"
>XF86Config-4</TT
>, so in both scenarios XFree can be started with the proper configuration file for the first X server.</P
><P
>And what about the other X servers?</P
><P
>Under a standard kernel you cannot use several independent X servers, so you should use the other XFree configuration files only under Ruby/Backstreet Ruby - there is no need for different configuration files under standard &#38; bruby kernels.</P
