Yes I had this problem badly on a bo system the other day. I removed
the existing XF86Config (it had never been set up properly). I ran
XF86Setup, which appeared to create the file in /etc, but when I ran
X it looked in /usr (if I recall correctly). I symlinked them together
and it worked.
Then I ran XF86Setup again using the existing file, and it removed
the link in /usr, and wrote a configuration file which was complete
garbage -- only 640x480 defined etc!
The multiple XF86Config files problems seems to be a big one in bo,
although I haven't mucked around with XF86Setup in hamm in ages.
