Look in /etc/X11R6/bin and see if there is more than one version of
xf86Config.  For example, sometimes you'll find xf86config and
xf86config-v3.  The -v3 version will set up the old version of X
(3.36?), which IIRC came with RedHat 7.0.  Some older hardware is not
supported with version 4.x.  (The plus to that is because not all
hardware works with version 4, most distributions ship both 3.x and
4.x)

Cheers,

James
