Basically you need to remove the uncomment the commented Rewrite directives in the Rewrite Engine block. An exampl would be the following .htaccess file:

#
# Apache/PHP/site settings:
#

# Various rewrite rules
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on

  # Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory and the
  # rewrite rules are not working properly:
  #RewriteBase /drupal

  # Rewrite old-style URLS of the form 'node.php?id=x':
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([^&]+)$
  RewriteRule node.php index.php?q=node/view/%1 [L]

  # Rewrite old-style URLs of the form 'module.php?mod=x':
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^mod=([^&]+)$
  RewriteRule module.php index.php?q=%1 [L]

  #Rewrite URLs of the form 'index.php?q=x':
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

And clean urls work fine for me... notice I have removerd other stuff from the above listing just to keep the point at hand...

Hope this helps...

It is distributed with drupal in the home directory but is hidden because it starts with a dot and is only copied if you copy the whole folder, not some or all files from it. You can view and copy these files but i dont now much bout linux. try command line > "man ls" to see how to veiw hidden files with "ls" command

"ls -a" would list all files, including hidden ones in a directory.
