1.0	INSTALLATION STEPS (USING THE SCRIPT FILE)
---------------------------------------------------------

1. Boot to linux, log in as root.

2. Copy all the three required files (XF86Banshee, XF86Config and 
   bshe_install) to an empty directory, such as /tmp

3. Make sure that the installation script (bshe_install) has the 
   executable attribute set:
   use the command "chmod u+x bshe_install" to change the mode.

4. Run the installation script (./bshe_install).
   The script file copies the necessary file to their corresponding 
   directory.

5. Start your X-windows system:
   use the command "startx"
___________________________________________________________

1.1  INSTALLATION STEPS  (WITHOUT USING THE SCRIPT FILE)
---------------------------------------------------------

1. Copy the Xserver file (XF86Banshee) to /usr/X11R6/bin directory.

2. Copy the config file (XF86Config) to /etc/X11 directory.

3. Make the Symbolic link of X in /usr/X11R6/bin and /etc/X11 directory
   to point to the XF86Banshee file:
   change to each directory, type "ln /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86Banshee X -s" 
   at the prompt and then press <Enter>.

4. Start x-windows with "startx":
   type in startx at the prompt and then press <Enter>.

1.2 TROUBLESHOOTING

1) I got this error message: "bash: bshe_install: command not found"

Cause:
This is because the current directory is not included in the path on
most Linux systems.

Solution:
You must add a "./" when you type the command at the prompt: ./bshe_install

2) I don't know what's going on, the script doesn't work!!!

Solution:
You might want to copy the file manually to the correct directory.
For further assistance, consult an experienced user.

3) I am stuck in 800x600 resolution.

Solution:
You are required to edit XF86Config file (/etc/X11/XF86Config) to 
change the mode.

***IMPORTANT*** 

If you select a refresh rate that is not supported by your monitor 
(i.e., it is too high for your monitor), you might burn the monitor.
