Mike,
Early version of XFree86 used the XF86Config-4 file. I linked the
XF86Config-4 to the XF86Config file. Probably the wrong thing to do
because they would not have renamed the configuration file without a
good reason. Wouldn't they?!? The current version of XFree86 uses the
xorg.conf file name for the configuration.
