+			X VIDEO EXPLORER
+
+Configuring video timing parameters for X386 is something of a black art.
+If the VDID standard actually happens, it may become an obsolete art as well.
+In the meantime, this package offers some guidance for the perplexed.  It
+includes the following files:
+
+READ.ME		--- this file
+
+Makefile	--- a makefile, what else?
+
+timing.guide	--- The Hitchhiker's Guide to X386 Video Timing
+
+xve.c		--- source for the X Video Explorer
+
+The X Video Explorer tries to help you configure timings for your monitor,
+using the methods described in the timing guide.  You will probably have to
+do some hand-tuning of the results, but xve will should least direct you
+in the right general region of the parameter space (and it automates away
+a lot of grubby calculations).
