I do not have that config
I do not have that config file in my etc/x11/ directory. My setup screen is locked at 60 hz. Is there a utility? Do I need to update? I am completely new and it looks *way* different than xubuntu!

saintj0n you will have to supply a little more info about your rig and the version of Mepis you sre running to get any meaningful help.
