The error message is telling you that you either didn't configure X after
installation or the config file isn't located anywhere that X knows of.
(Generally in "/etc/X11/XF86Config", but not always--for windows
especially.)

You can configure X in a number of different ways, "XFree86 -configure" is
probably the easiest.

XFree86  -configure 
When this option is specified, the X server loads all video driver modules,
probes for available hardware, and writes out an initial XF86Config(5) file
based on what was detected. This option currently has some problems on some
platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the configuration
process. This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e.,
with real-uid 0).

You may also need to use XF86cfg or XF86config. Read their manpages by
following the links in the above link.
