X Win and Mouse

[Hal Vaughan <hal@thresholddigital.com>]

Two mouse questions:

1) Can someone confirm for me (I'm having strange troubles, again...) that if 
I have a mouse port (ATX mobo w/ keyboard and mouse ports above each other), 
that it is configured as /dev/psaux  (no serial connection, no USB for the 
mouse -- just the mouse port next to the keyboard port).

2) Does anyone know how X behaves if it is looking for the mouse on the wrong 
port?  Does it not start, start w/out a mouse, keep restarting until it finds 
the mouse, or what?

Thanks!

Hal
