No, XF86Setup isn't installed by default, since the X server configuration
stuff is usually done during configuration. The package is:
XFree86-XF86Setup-3.3.6-4mdk.i586.rpm
Personally, I like the Xconfigurator better:
Xconfigurator-4.2.10-3mdk.i586.rpm
Install either of those and run them as 'root'. If you are a masochist, you can
also try the old xf86config console program right now ;-).
