Hey, I just noticed somethin skwerky.  I've got TWO 'Section "InputDevice'
stanzas in my XF86Config4 - like so:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
EndSection

Hows come is that?  Will that cause further grief in trying to get gpm
going alongside X? (no "ZAxisMapping" line either, I note)

Thanks, James
