The only time I have used upgrade is to test the upgrade process.

I believe you minunderstood what I meant (I did say it clearly enough).  By 
Fc2test2, FC2test3, etc. I mean upgrading from FC1 to FC2test2, etc (or RHL9 
to FC2test2).  Right now neither system-config-mouse nor 
system-config-display handle this properly (they still try to us psaux and or 
don't do anything).  These have been bugzilla'ed.

When it comes up wrong, the system trys to fix things by running mouseconfig 
(system-config-mouse) but this does nothing.

Similarly, I could be able to run system-config-display --reconfig and have it 
create a new /etc/X11/XF86Config which works.  It starts out trying to use 
psaux and gets nowhere.

I was complaining because I believe this transition could have been handled 
smoother.  However, test1 is a beta and will have rough edges.  What I am 
concerned about is how the final will work.
