Have you tried "# XFree86 -configure"?
>From the man pages:

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

If that doesn't work, I would suggest searching the XFree86 mailing
lists:
