This is not correct... I'm running XFree86 here, non-debian... the file in
/usr/lib/X11/X11/ XF86Config should be left alone. This one is only for
referance. The debian package uses /etc/X11/XF86Config, and the XFree86
uses /etc/XF86Config file... you should make these a symbolic link to each
other. Not the original, fall back default file...
