[BUG?] Xfree86 -configure doesn't start up

[Robert Graham Merkel <rgmerk@mira.net>]

Hi there,

I'm using your potato debs of Branden's Xfree 4.0 packages 
(version 4.0.1-8), with an AGP Matrox G400, a 2.4.0-test12
kernel compiled with DRI support. 

Not finding any directions to the contrary, I just installed
the packages using apt and then ran xf86cfg.  It refused to
start up.  The log file of the session is attached.

If there's something I've obviously missed, I apologise, but
I have looked.  Is this a bug?

Any help would be much appreciated.
