Jim, Did I read your post right? Did you rm XF86Config!!!
XF86Config is the configuration file for the X system. It contains all the information about your graphics card, screen, mouse, and other important information that your X client needs to run. The flashing screen problem is most likely a problem with the screen and/or graphics card setup. You need to produce a XF86Config file for your particular hardware setup. You can either read the documentation on the XF86Config and edit the sample (that you deleted), or you can use the xf86config program to produce a config file that should work if you know what hardware you have. However, the config files produced by xf86config are minimal to get X running, you can squeeze much more performance out of even modest hardware with a little reading and hacking (I have 768x562 from a 10 year old VGA monitor that I found at a garage sale for $10). Look in the /usr/X11/lib/X11/doc directory for some good documentation and good luck!!!
