The X mouse configuration can be greatly simplified if you start gpm with the
option -R (redirector) and set the following mouse config in XF86Config:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/gpmdata"
In this way the only things you need to specify are the real mouse port and
protocol for gpm. By default I configure all my systems with SVGA server and
a 1024x768@60Hz monitor. Surely this is not optimal for most machines, but it
works with almost every graphic card and mouse, and you have quickly a running
X system which you can tune later. I never had a problem with this.
The only difficult thing is to set the keyboard type. It seems that there
are many more keyboards models and variants than mice. Usually I replace
the language string with sed in the following lines:
XkbModel "pc105"
XkbLayout "us"
