NO!!!!
If you do it this way the next time you upgrade xfree86 your changes
will get over written. It is safer to use the debconf interface to do
it. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 as root should do the trick. If
you want to edit XF86Config-4 by hand then answer no to the first
question(I believe) and have fun. Otherwise, just answer the rest of
the questions and it will create a nice XF86Config-4 for you.
