Try the XFree86.dsl myDSL extension....it's much simpler.

Make it easy on yourself

Double click the MyDSL icon on the desktop and navigate to:
System-->XFree86.dsl.info
Download and it automatically installs.

Ain't life easy?

I have downloaded Xinstall.sh and checked my binary version with :

#sh Xinstall.sh check
(Linux-ix86-glibc23)

Downloaded XFree 4.5.0 and installed all fine but I cant find the configuration file, checked the manual and it can only be placed at theses locations :

/etc/X11/XF86Config
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
/etc/XF86Config
/usr/X11R6/etc/XF86Config
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config

If you installed it from a deb package then you may have to create a config file yourself. There should be at least one tool included (probably 2 or 3) to help you with this task. xf86config, xf86cfg, xf86setup, or something like that...look in /usr/X11R6/bin or check the manual again.

There may also be an example file you can use as a base. On my Suse system I have /usr/X11R6/lib/XF86Config.eg and in Slackware /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/getconfig/cfg.sample

There are several premade config files in /home/dsl/XFree86_Config_files
