Hm... In simpler terms: XF86Config is the old "standard" cfg file for Xwindow up to ver 3.x.x IIRC. When XWindow 4.x.x came around they needed to add new parameters to that config file. Instead of re-writing it from scratch they appended a new file with some of the old parameters & some new ones added in for newer graphics cards. If you compare the two files they are nearly identicaly in all respects except that the XF86Config-4 one contains some newer modelines & some other techy errata that means nothing to anyone outside the Consortium... or Civilme perhaps. <G>
