What do you mean by manually configure?

Fire up your favorite text editor (I like vim) to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or whatever your x settings file with your distro is called).
Know what hardware you have and it's proper settings, then edit to your liking. Then, issue the command "startx", or reboot your machine. That should do it.
For examples of xorg.conf files, there are thousands of them posted all over the web. Good luck with it...

Just open a terminal and then su to root.
Type in the following command:
Code:# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
