This changed things, but not for the better. See below.

I got rid of the file, and now X cannot see my mouse, and refuses to start.
I think the problem is that it used to be /dev/mouse and is now
/dev/input/mouse0
or some such. I'm not sure. I don't know where the Xorg config file is,
so I don't know what to change. (I used to know when I used XFree, but
I didn't track the whole switchover).

I never get prompted. It just says everything's okay, and quits. The message
remains.
