xorg-x11-doc-6.8.1-12.FC3.1 attachment #1364  
kernel-2.6.9-1.650_devel

This happened to me too on x86 hardware.  fc-devel system with default kernel.
X -configure sets default pointer to /dev/mouse which does not exist. (probably
a seperate bug)

Starting X results in the same behavior.  ibm stinkpad 600x neomagic.
setting pointer to

    Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"

results in X starting normally.  The system is fine except it never comes back
from graphics mode after a failed start.  typing blindly "echo true" > /tmp/test
on console produces no file.  starting X remotely works (graphics, keyboard and
mouse) after fixing the pointer.
