I've been trying a bunch of live as well as a full install of Fedora

What's up with that? Ubuntu, CentOSLive, even Knoppix doesn't find the
serial mouse on this box. Got FC5 to work by manually finding,
downloading and installing system-config-mouse and running it. That
apparently set it for X as well.
Anyone have any idea why this isn't still in default configs? (Strange
box, only one ps/2 port.)
Oh, Knoppix v3.3 found the mouse fine, but 3.9 didn't. Weird. How do I
configure a mouse without a mouse in X, for example... :)
I have seen an X configurator program that responded to
up,down,left,right arrow keys.
I don't remember what it was called. Otherwise you configure X by
editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with the text editor of your
choice.
My pet peeve with regard to X configuration is that
system-config-display (Fedora name) doesn't work if the display is not
already set up to a minimally-usable configuration.
