No, that's not quite right. I just reran xf86config on my 1.1 box with
3.1.2 XFree tonight. When it's nearly finished, the script asks if it's
o.k. to save the configuration as /etc/X11/XF86Config and says that is the
standard in Debian.
If I'm right you also have a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.eg as an
example config file installed with XFree. Don't know if that is of any use
with your hardware.

Find the booklets with your monitor and videocard specs (sorry, RTFM) and
run xf86config. That should get you started, I hope.
