Okay, so i'm experimenting with the split kde ebuilds, having done a
kde-meta the last time.  However, when I did that, I got all my
hardware configured and set up automatically somehow.  when I just
did emerge kdebase-startkde, It won't allow me to go beyond 640x480.
So I ran xorgconfig, and now I've apparently picked the wrong mouse
(it's a usb trackball) port and nothing works.  Is there a script
that will set all this for me?  I really, REALLY hate mucking about
in that stupid xorg.conf file.

Xorg -configure

yeah, did that. problem is that said it couldn't determine my mouse...so I booted to the live cd and looked at what /dev/mouse was symlinked to. /dev/input/mice. why that symlink didn't get created here, i don't know. but I put it in and it works...now i've just got to figure out how to get more than 640x480 resolution..
