Xfree 2.1 used a different format than xfree 3.0. I think ConfigXF86
was used for the old xfree. You probably ran the setup for 2.1 and
not 3.0.
I'm sure somebody will correct me if i'm wrong, but the setup
program was something like this.
xf86config-XFree86-3.1
just run it and save it to the /etc directory. I had to edited
it because my card is a mach64
Good luck
