+## CONFIGURING X
+__X__ can be configured for several things. You can generate a configuration which will appear on your home directory and change it later.
+
+* Create a new configuration file "xorg.conf.new"
+`Xorg -configure`
+* change it to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
+`mv /path/to/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf`

This will automatically launch _"X"_ at the first _"tty"_ (_"virtual terminal"_). If you are confused, to switch between ttys press _"Ctrl-Alt-F\<X>"_ (where _"\<X>_" is a number). So to change to the tty with xorg you'll press _"Ctrl-Alt-F1"_.

-Productive, automated, scriptable, and minimal, Ratpoison is a strict tiling window manager using bindings similar to GNU Screen. A few of its benefits are.
-* No mouse used, all done by commands called by typing _"control"_ and _"t"_ at the same time, plus another key.
-* You can set your own bindings in the file _".ratpoisonrc"_ which is extremely friendly.
-* Extensible by scripts. The _"rpws"_ script for example adds multiple workspaces (comes by default), another script (_"expose.pl"_) gives a mozaic of current windows.
-* Full manual available from the terminal:
-`info ratpoison`
-* Can temporarily switch to another window manager with the _"tmpwm"_ command for your comfort.
