I checked, with the Linux "diff" command, the two file XF86Config.in,
in 6r4 and 7.x. They are *identical*. We know the bug relative to
missing symlink for release < 7r4. I'm not sure if I fix the symlink
bug in 7r4 o 7r5.

Please, try to figure out the origin of your malfunction. Go in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 and do a "ls -l". You can see the file:

                XF86Config -> /etc/X11/XF86Config ?

Go in /etc/X11. You can see the *active* file XF86Config. If yes,
the symlink bug is fixed in your muLinux.

In this case, I cannot understand why X do not work for you!

I see, you have a big clock 80K. Localte in XF86Config.in the two rows:

     HorizSync 31.5
     VertRefresh 50-70
                      
and try to enlarge this value: e.g.:

                HorizSync 30-50
                VertRefresh 50-100

News modes will becomes active.

Maybe, in the future, I can parametrize this values, but they are
two hardware-depend and, also, a little dangerous.
