Almost no-one is still using XFree86 at all.  I count ten:
http://www.xfree86.org/distros/
(excluding Conectiva since they are now part of Mandriva).  Of those,
I recognise a couple as being Debian-derived, so they are not using
XFree86 4.4 or 4.5.

Most major distributions are using X.Org, however, which does support
i9xx.
