Aha!

Chances are it is XFree86 3.3.6.

You should be able to run XF86Setup to setup the goods on your box. This is a more graphical setup routine than xf86config, which is dull and boring and text only.

Please note that the case is sensitive for XF86Setup xf86Setup will not work!

You can also try xf86cfg but that is the graphical setup program for XFree86 4.x.x.
