Than i cp XF86Config.new to /etc/X11/XF86Config (i tried to copy and to /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config but there is no directory X11). then, when i run startx i get the next error: screen not found... I know i can do everythiing with xf86cfg but i don`t understand why the first way has problems (may be i have problems  :)))) ). Thank You!

Do you have a 'screen' section in your /etc/X11/XF86Config file?

If you do, does it have screen entries?  IIRC, you'll need at least
one section with valid depth, modes, and virtual entries.  (Note:
I'm not an expert, and don't play one on TV).

Here's the "screen" section from my XF86Config:

*****************************************
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     16
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     1
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     4
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     8
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     15
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     16
                Modes   "1024x768"
                Virtual 1024 768
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes   "1024x768"
                Virtual 1024 768
        EndSubSection
EndSection
