I hope that file has as its first line:
/usr/bin/X11/XF86_NONE

Type ls -l /usr/bin/X11/XF86_*
and, assuming you installed an xserver package (hence the
post-installation script's question), this will tell you what
to put in place of "NONE".
(In general, the names of packages don't match the name of a particular
program within them, even though the odd one does. They are also in
lower case with a more restricted character set.)
