You will have better luck getting a response if you use a relevant
subject heading.
It sounds to me like you haven't set up an XF86Config file yet. You can
do so with -
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86Setup
/usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config
Make sure you know your monitors vertical and horizontal refresh rates
and which server you need. Need more help let us know.
