Does this happen immeiatly upon XFree86 -configure or when you
XFree86 -configure /root/XF86Config.new.

 I'll assume it's the 1st.  therer are 2 other ways to configure X.
 xf86config or xf86configure.  (I think.  It's been a while since i did
this)
 also see if a file /root/XF86Config.new exists.  (If you aren't logged as
 root also look in your home dir.)  If so cp /root/XF86Config.new
 /etc/X11/XF86Config  and then startx.

Good luck,
 Jeff Jeter
