Are you trying to configure as root or normal user? I could see normal user being denied the ability to write to /etc/X11/XF86Config but not root.

Have you tried by-passing the SaX2 for xf86cfg? On my ElCheapo FreeBSD machine xf86cfg will detonate in graphical mode so I use `xf86cfg -textmode` to setup XF86 on that box.

You can also have XFree86 automagically generate a config file by running `XFree86 --configure` and copy the output to /etc/X11/XF86Config and try xf86cfg.

Just some random thoughts.
