The 'new' version of XFree (I assume you installed 3.1.1 since thats what is
on the infoMagc cd) needs a XF86Config with a different format the the old
Xconfig 
if you installed everything correctly there should be a program called 
xf86config (note lower case letters) in the dir /usr/X11R6/lib/ConfigXF86
(it might be also called xf86config-XFree86-3.1)

there is a reconfig prog there which can take your old Xconfig and convert
it to the new format -- I dont know if it works or not.
