xserver-xfree86 4.0.3-4 - from woody - contains XFree86
xbase-clients 4.0.3-4 - also from woody - contains xf86cfg
install both, but I prefer XFree86 -configure - it's easier to get everything
working. If you can't find a command or file try searching
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages - the second search set will list what
packages they come from.
Good luck,
Steve
