Do you have xf86cfg on your system? It is usually easier to use.
You could also try to run:

I think the version of xfree86 you have may be b0rked. You could try another version.

when i originally tryed to do emerge xfree everything went fine but it had an error with the file "savage-*-*.zip" or something like that
in order to get it to not have any errors i ran it with --usepkg

Ok. I dont know anything about that.

Because xfree86 is not officially supported anymore because of licensing concerns you could try xorg-x11 which is used in the exact same way as xfree.

edit: that is the newer versions. The "old" versions are still supported.
