X11 Issues

[Thomas Sapp]

That helped resolve my issue.  My /etc/sysconfig/mouse and 
/etc/sysconfig/gpm where already configured this way but when I change the 
DEVICE="/dev/mouse" in my XF86Config to DEVICE="/dev/input/mice" it all 
works perfectly! woohoo!  pass this on to those having the same issues!

Thanks,
Thomas Sapp
