I downloaded xfree86.dsl, followed instructions in info, copied XF86Config-4_neomagic_2160(which is the chipset for my display) to /ect/X11 and renamed it XF86Config-4. restarted x and i get an error:

It seems as if that 'sample' file is out of date.. probably meant for an older version of XF86 - you might be better off finding a newer one?

Anyways, try moving the Driver line from Screen to Device section.
