Very likely, you would like to read the header of
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
and read the instructions (if any) or trying to write a new configuration.

Mine are:

  cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.custom
  md5sum /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 >/var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum
  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

HTH,
