For m68k we have been allowed to include something in xserver-configure.
XF86Config is only copied from the examples directory, the dev/mouse link is
set according to hardware (amiga, atari and mac have different mouse types).
There are no changes to the config file with regards to Hor/Vert
frequencies, since these are set (at least on my machine) during boot or
even before. You can adjust them with fbset AFAIK for some grafics boards.
Do you really have to change these frequencies during X setup or is it nice
to have? I mean, if the console works, so does xfree, thats the framebuffer.
