OK now I have had time to try the thing that David Moberg proposed:

>To finish the installation, get Sindi's XF86Config from:

>/etc/XF86Config. Move it there, do _not_ create a new directory in /etc.
>You should then be able to start X.

First time with Sindy's XF86Config it failed back with the messages

Config Error: /etc/XF86Config:85
Section "Device"
Monitor section keyword expected
X connection to :O.O broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)

Than I edited the XF86Config that was originally in the no_xvesa packages
to have modeline and the HorizSync and VertRefresh of Sinsy's XF86Config.

Now it tog a little longer after startx but than it came up with some
text messages that I could not read thins the fond was mist up. And i
had to reboot to get a readable fond again.

Now i tried with the the modeline and the HorizSync and VertRefresh
from my old mulinux vga16 XF86Config which is

HorizSync       29-60   
VertRefresh 50-100      

Modeline "640x480" 28.0 640 664 760 800   480 482 487 523

But that was the same black screen followed by text messages with "mestup 
fond".

Some advise?
