Er, do you mean that xf86config is flunking out (surely not :-) or that XFree86 is flunking out having reconfigured (when you try to startx)? If the latter then do:

  cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log | grep -A 10 "(EE)" | less

To try and pinpoint any pertinent error messages which should give you a real hint at what the problem may be.

If it was the other then I wouldn't mind seeing what the error is from xf86config. If it just starts then stops with an error you might be able to capture all the output like this:

  xf86config > ~/xf86config.error

Then you can look it over with

  less ~/xf86config.error
