The purpose of XF86Setup and xf86config (different progs to accomplish the
same purpose) is to create the XF86Config file. This file contains settings
for your X windows.
In addition to this file, there's another file called /etc/X11/Xserver.
This file specifies who can run X and which X server (video resolution,
sort of) to use. The first line of this file specifies the X server. It
sounds like that line is pointing to XF86_NONE. Use an editor (such as vi
or emacs) to edit the file and change the first line to use XF86_VGA or
XF86_VGA16 or XF86SVGA. If the first line does not reference XF86_NONE,
then this is not the problem and you'll have to let us know.
