If you can spare a partition in your hard disk (or, better, if your hard
disk/s are in removable drawers), then you can make a fresh
minimal Debian installation in the spare partition. Once the fresh
installation is working, copy the XF86Config-4 created there to your
regular installation.
If you followed the safe practice of giving a separate partition to /var
and/or /tmp, then you can temporarily move them to the root partition,
modify your fstab, and then install.
After rebuilding the XF86Config-4, go back to the original configuration.
I believe that all this can be done in less than an hour (including few
reboots).
