You aren't trying to use XConfigurator, are you? It's not a part of X, and won't get updated along with it. Try using XFree86 -configure or xf86cfg (not xf86config, it's antiquated and produces braindead config files with /too many/ extraneous comments).
(Yes, I realize that around the 4.0 release, I was militantly against XFree86 -configure, but at that time it did suck. Around 4.0.3 it got useful, and a bit smarter. Still doesn't include a few essential modules, but that's ok) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Otto E.
