Neither of those seem to address set-up/configuration issues.

I've got the new Xserver running on two of my machines.  But neither 
machine will now allow me to switch my wsdisplay from the Xserver to 
another virtual display.  And on one machine, it seems to refuse to 
recognize my USB mouse.

I'm assuming that there's new stuff that needs to be in some config file 
somewhere.  Like the old /etc/X11/XF86config.  But I can't seem to find 
any reference to this in the new X11R7 man pages.  (It's probably there, 
but I can't find it.)
