12 Yeah. I don't care what X -configure says. It works *so* totally
13 differently that they aren't even comparable. You probably don't have
14 "hwsetup" installed.

16 Check the contents of your /etc/sysconfig directory (on the booted
17 LiveCD) and see if it detects your mouse. If it doesn't neither will
18 mkxf86config.
