The 'XF86Setup' command (unless I made a typo) in the xf86setup package.
The text only 'xf86setup' command works fine. (I may have a typo in those
program names.)

It looks like bugs: 29865, 30338, 30733, and 30949 (by subject browsing).
If you are the one handling the pre-defined profiles, don't worry, this
one isn't your problem. But make sure that the vga16 server is installed
because Branden left a depends on the virtual package and a comment in the
xf86setup package that you need vga16 if you want the GUI config. He
doesn't have a specific recommends or suggests because apparently there
are other uses for the xf86setup package that doen't require the vga16
server specifically (haven't used them myself).
Thanks,
Brandon
