Well I just installed debian and I got the same error. I tried XFree86 -configure

Did you do this command as root?
man glide
Has XF86Config-4 got a glide video card in it? Remove it if you don't need it.
The man page says to use a soft-link for glide.

me to remove. Please explain? Im new to configuring X...

All the configuration of X (XFree86) is in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. If this file
was newly installed, then don't worry about removing old stuff.
From man glide:
This driver requires that you have installed Glide. (Which
can, at the time of this writing, be found at
http://glide.xxedgexx.com/3DfxRPMS.html). Also, you need
to tell XFree86 where the libglide2x.so file is placed by
making a soft link in the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules directory
that points to the libglide2x.so file. For example (if
your libglide2x.so file is in /usr/lib):
# ln -s /usr/lib/libglide2x.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules
Have you tried this?
