An interesting manual page can be found at
man X
Another one that can be of use is
man XFree86
Your system is probably running locate so you can
locate X
to see lots of paths to potentialy interesting files on your system
Another tool that is very useful testing X windows configurations is
SuperProbe.
/usr/X11R6/bin/SuperProbe
It will let you know lots of stuff about the graphics hardware on your
system. For most systems using
/usr/X11/bin/Xsetup
as root will get things going for you.
Good Luck
