- * TWM, `twm`

The recommended way of configuring X is using the `xserver-xorg` debconf template, eg:
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
-This currently seems to be broken in the Debian package so you will probably have to create xorg.conf by hand.
-
-It may be easier to just copy a working configuration from another operating system on the same computer and place it in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf`, but this is discouraged as you would have to remove some sections by hand.
+This currently seems to be broken in the Debian package so it may be easier to just copy a working configuration from another operating system on the same computer and place it in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf`. You need to edit the mouse settings by hand according to the below example, though.
**_IMPORTANT:_** when you configure X, make sure you do **NOT** enable the `speedo` and `dri` modules because they are currently broken.
