Hi Ed.  Your upgrade to 7.1 most likely involved a switch from XFree86
version 3 to version 4.  There's a new config file for that,
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 that you may need to edit as you probably did for
the older version. 

The problem is this, most likely:

HTH.  You may also want to consider getting 31DEC01.
