i just did it by temporarily adding keyboard and mouse files to
/etc/sysconfig, then running Xautoconfig.  the files were:

    /etc/sysconfig/keyboard:
	KEYTABLE=
	KEYBOARDTYPE="usb"

    /etc/sysconfig/mouse:
	MOUSETYPE="imps2"
	XMOUSETYPE="IMPS/2"
	FULLNAME="Universal Serial Bus 1 Button Mouse (USB)"
	XEMU3=yes

granted, i took my changes as whether those were *right* -- but they
ended up working for me.

i got the files from The G3 Kernel HOWTO at robert shaw's excellent
site at <http://www.inficad.com/~rshaw>.
