Whats wrong with using the same device for the mouse and the same
keyboard as in the V3 config file as defaults? (Wheres the keyboard
selection anyway in dexter?) Why not look at the console keymap to
guess what keymap to use for X when no old config is found?

I'm not talking about skipping the question in dexter. But dexter
could position the cursor in the mouse selection on the mouse device
that was used in the old confg file.

May the Source be with you.
