As root, while X is not running, try this:

# XFree86 -configure

Now, you can test this configuration by doing:

XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new

(I assume that you were in root's home directory when you ran the first
command)

This should give you a functional XF86Config that you can edit to your
liking and then copy to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

Hope this helps.

Take care

Peter.
