Read the sentence as: ``Don't login as root. Login as a regular user,
and use the `su' command.''
(And make sure you're a member of group wheel in /etc/group.)

Both systems use XFree86, so both have the same configuration. The
default places to look for the config file (which is *NOT* an
executable) are /etc/XF86Config and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config (in
this order, i.e. the /etc will get higher precedence).

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
