<acronym class="acronym">X</acronym>. So in order for <acronym class="acronym">KDE</acronym>,
<acronym class="acronym">Gnome</acronym>, <acronym class="acronym">LXDE</acronym> or any other graphical
environment to work well, the following <acronym class="acronym">X</acronym> settings need

choice is incorrect.

The test button does not always appear during install. If the button is
there, you can control your settings by pressing it. If you see a
question asking you whether your settings are correct, you can answer
"yes", and the settings will be kept. If you don't see anything, you'll
return to the configuration screen and be able to reconfigure everything
until the test is good. <span class="emphasis"><em>Make sure your settings are on the
safe side if the test button isn't available</em></span></p>
