I have two input devices within my /etc/X11/XF86Config file. One of the 
instances was set to /dev/psaux and the second was set to /dev/input 
mice. I ended up leaving the second instance within the file and changed 
the one that pointed to "/dev/psaux" to "/dev/input/mice" also.

Thanks for the help with locating th line that was causing the latest 
kernel to load X properly.

Sorry for the continuation into the things with nautilus and file 
selection tools for applications. They should be committed to bugzilla 
and hopefully made to work in reasonable manners.

Now with X up and running. I can see what the problem with mounting 
reiserfs volumes is. I have seen a posting that said that hpfs modules 
are not present within the kernel either. I don't have any of those 
volume types fortunately.
