I used dxkerneltuner, though in the future I'll probably just edit the
file since dxkerneltuner didn't seem to offer any real checking. (At
least the "are you really sure" message didn't suggest it was all that
sure itself). I also normally run twm and dxkerneltuner doesn't work
well w/ it.

I certainly plan to go browse the tuning manuals as others suggested.
