I supppose I was less than clear in explaining the trade-offs between
the 760ED and the 760EL. With the EL you will be limited to
800x600x8bpp (perhaps XFree 4.2.x can make 16bpp work, but I don't
know) and sound works well. Meanwhile the 760ED will give you
1024x768x16bpp, but no sound as the MWave DSP is not supported in Linux.

That depends... Debian added the -4 suffix to allow an 3.x and a 4.x
configuration to co-exist. However, a file written for 3.x is not of
a compatible format for 4.x and vice versa. 4.x in Debian will work
with a version 4 formatted file named XF86Config or XF86Config-4.
