If you don't have a XF86config-4 file you don't have a complete Xfree
4.x install. It seems to me when I did this I had a mix of Xfree ver 3 &
4, no XF86config-4 just an XF86cconfig file. I can't remember exactly
how I fixed this but maybe using 'dselect' and removing all
Xfree-ver.3.x packages and making sure you have alll Xfree 4.x version
packages.
