23 Well, it's obviously not the same thing. `xorgconfig' seems to run
24 fine. However, it doesn't create a workable xorg.conf. The problem
25 that I get is that it can't "initialize the core devices". Basically,
26 it can't find my mouse. When I ran `xorgconfig', I used the default
27 for the location: /dev/mouse. It's obviously not hanging off of that
28 /dev device.

30 So when I move the xorg.conf file that was created to xorg.conf.old,
31 I'm able to start up gdm again, with the assumingly, same default
32 configuration. How can I find where my mouse is, so I can tell
33 xorgconfig where to look?
