The tools seem to have taken a step backwards with xorg. xorgcfg -textmode seems to result in a bad configuration file, and in graphical mode, it is very obscure, and does not show scroll bars on list boxes and the like. Having to run Knoppix (which gets it right without asking any questions at all) isn't a very satisfying solution.
