     What puzzles me more, if memory serves me, is that the configuration it
     chooses to use if no configuration file is supplied is different from
     the configuration file it generates if asked to do so.  There may be a
     logical reason for this, but it was quite counterintuitive for me.
     (I'd encountered this on 5.99.11/amd64, running under VMWare Fusion.)
     If I ran it without a config file, I ended up with no mouse.  If I used
     the config file it generated, the mouse worked.  (And I wasn't ever
     running wsmoused either.)
 
 
 yes, i see this too.
 
 
 i've never been able to run X on x86 without a config file or
 some sort, even if it was identical to the one that X -configure
 spat out.
 
 hopefully someone knows how that should work.. :_)
