hrmmm...no such file.

in /etc/X11 I have a number of folders and files (I'm on my XP box 
typing this or I would post a capture of it...)

but no XF86.conf...

I think I'll go light the grill. I have been knocking my head for 4 days 
now.
I need a steak.

Thanks if you have any other suggestions, either about the USB/mouse 
problem or the FC2 upgrade issue.
