It's at: /etc/X11/XF86Config - copy that file into a mail and post it. At a command prompt (without X already running) type (exactly): X > xerrors.txt 2>&1 and press enter. When that's finished, you should have a file in your current working directory called xerrors.txt. Mail that to. That'll tell us what X is getting from your configuration file, and what it's 'auto probing' for itself. Make sure you read: http://metalab.unc.edu/mdw/LDP/gs/node7.html#SECTION00700000000000000000 This explains all about XF86Config and other stuff that you need to know about before trying to get X running.
