    1.31 +Tazx is the configuration tool to manage your X window sessions on a 
    1.32 +SliTaz box. Simply select a value and press OK. You can also select a 
    1.33 +(Xorg) session by selecting a video driver best suited to your hardware.
    1.34 +After you first run 'startx', the configuration is saved in the executable 
    1.35 +files ~/.xsession and ~/.xinitrc. These files are then used to start a 
    1.36 +X session with 'startx' or via the Slim login manager. Note that these 
    1.37 +files can be edited with a text editor.
