Type ls -l /usr/bin/X11/XF86_* and, assuming you installed an xserver package (hence the post-installation script's question), this will tell you what to put in place of "NONE". (In general, the names of packages don't match the name of a particular program within them, even though the odd one does. They are also in lower case with a more restricted character set.)
