The original is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.in. It is changed and
copied in /etc/X11/XF86Config.

With this jurassik X server is not possible to gain better resolution

startup mechanism proceed via /etc/rc.* script, as in standard
Slackware distributions, but I chosen to use /bin/setup (Setup) in
this scripts, in the hope to mantains parallelism between boot-setup
and manual-setup.
The basic guideline is:
# load the last profile from floppy
setup -R
# basic setup (runlevel 4)
setup usr
setup keymap
setup tmp
# full setup (runlevel 5)
setup -a custom
# shutdwon (runleve 6)
setup -a shutdown stop
In the files /setup/custom and /setup/shutdown you find the list
of services, stopped in this order.
In other words, "setup -a shutdown stop" close all services (soft
shutdown).
