Dead giveaway ;)

[mharris: perhaps this is another of those cases where the X server can
try to fix a few things and -- if they work -- give a good diagnostics
message or -- if they don't -- at least tell us where it tried to look for
the file?   The pie in the sky goal would of course be to make it work
/without/ a configuration file unless the hardware was really strange...]

Ok, you have no configuration file.  Do you have a sample file you can
modify?  Have you read http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/XF86Config.5.html ?
(should be the same as man 5 XF86Config but one never knows)
What hardware do you have?

You can also try:

  XFree86 -configure

which should generate a configuration file for you (which might work
straight away or might need some further hand tuning).
