+<question>
+<para>How do I change the screen resolution?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>Use <keycombo
+action="simul">&Ctrl;&Alt;<keycap>+</keycap></keycombo> and <keycombo
+action="simul">&Ctrl;&Alt;<keycap>-</keycap></keycombo> to cycle through
+the resolutions you have defined in <filename>XF86Config</filename> (maybe under
+<filename class="directory">/etc/X11</filename>; poke around first).
+If you prefer to get your hands dirty, you can always edit the file
+directly.  By placing your favorite resolution at the beginning (or
+making it the only one listed), &X-Window; will always start up with that
+resolution.
+<caution><para>Always make a backup copy of your <filename>XF86Config</filename> file
+<emphasis>before</emphasis> you start editing it.  Errors in this file
+can render &X-Window; unusable.</para></caution>
+<note><para>These instructions are only valid if you are running
+version 3.3.x of the XFree86 server.  If you are running XFree86 4.x,
+you must consult with the <ulink url="http://xfree.org">XFree86(TM):

+<question>
+<para>How do I change the color depth?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>There is no way you can do this on the fly.  You can either
+start &X-Window; using <command>startx <option> -bpp
+<replaceable>number</replaceable></option></command> where
+<replaceable>number</replaceable> can be 8, 16, 24 or 32, depending on
+the depth you want. Alternatively, if you are using
+<application>xdm</application>/&kdm;, you
+need to edit
+<filename>/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers</filename> (may vary) and enter
+<userinput>:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -bpp 16</userinput> for 16 bit color
+depth.</para>
+<para>You can also edit the <filename>XF86Config</filename> file and add a line
+like <userinput>DefaultColorDepth
+<replaceable>number</replaceable></userinput> to Section "Screen".
+The next time you start X, it will run with the newly-configured color
+depth.</para>

+<question>
+<para>What can I do if I am using a 2-button mouse?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>Go buy a 3-button one, or use third button emulation.  The third
+button is emulated by pressing both the &LMB; and the &RMB;
+together.  You would need to enable <option>Emulate3Buttons</option>
+in your <filename>XF86Config</filename> file. </para>

+<question>
+<para>What is a "sticky" window?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>In a virtual desktop environment with multiple virtual desktops, a
+"sticky" window will stay put on the screen when you switch between
+desktops, as if sticking to the glass of the screen.
+<application>Xclock</application> is a typical candidate for sticking,
+as you need to run only one instance of it, and it always stays with
+you. </para>

+<question>
+<para>How do I replace the "X" mouse pointer with an arrow?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>The various types of cursor available in X are defined in
+<filename class="headerfile">X11/cursorfont.h</filename>.  You can
+change it using <command>xsetroot -cursor_name
+<replaceable>name_of_cursor</replaceable></command>.  For example, I
+have the following in my <filename>.Xclients</filename>:</para>
+<screen>
+xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr
+</screen>
+<para>This will create the common left-angled pointer.  To see other
+alternatives, type <command>xfd -fn cursor</command>.  And of course,
+do not forget that <command>man xsetroot</command> is your
+friend.</para>

+<answer>
+<para>To generate a context-diff suitable for patching, use
+<command>diff -u <replaceable>old-file new-file</replaceable> &gt;
+<replaceable>patchfile</replaceable></command>.  To apply the diff to
+a file (<abbrev>i.e.</abbrev> "patch the file"), execute
+<command>patch &lt; <replaceable>patchfile</replaceable></command>.</para>

+<para>How do I get &Linux; to mount the floppy device for use with both

+<answer>
+<para>Just specify the filesystem type as auto in
