XF86Config-4

[Vitor Silva Souza <vitor.souza@terra.com.br>]

Hi,
	I was browsing through the archives to find a way to make the wheels of my 
MS Intellimouse work on X. I found a piece of configuration that should be 
inserted on XF86Config:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Generic Mouse"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"CorePointer"
	Option		"Device"			"/dev/psaux"
	Option		"Protocol"		"IMPS/2"
	Option		"SendCoreEvents"	"true"
	Option		"Buttons"		"5"
	Option		"ZAxisMapping"		"4 5"
EndSection

	So, I inserted it as directed, and when I tried to run startx:

Config Error: /etc/XF86Config:21
Section "InputDevice"
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
not a recognized section name


	Here's the version of xfree that I'm using:

seattle:/etc# dpkg -l xfree*
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version        Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii  xfree86-common 4.0.3-4        X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure
	What did I do wrong?


	When I upgraded xfree86-common from 3.x to 4.x I think I told dpkg to use 
my config file instead of the maintainer's new version, so it wouldn't stop 
working. Is there a way to tell X to read new versions of XF86Config, so I 
can rewrite the config file and add the "InputDevice" section?


Thanks,
