xf86config is also in X 4. To configure X, you can use

xf68v3.X:
XF86Setup (deprecated in woody+)
xf86config[-v3 in woody+]
vi /etc/X11/XF86Config[-3 if you're using woody+]
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common-v3

xf86v4:
xf86config
XFree86 -configure
xf86cfg
vi /etc/X11/XF86Config
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
