You have a couple of choices for reconfiguring things.

I like things to work correctly at the console, too, so when I change
mice I use 'mouseconfig' to setup the mouse.  It is a nice
menu-driven, program which will update your X configuration at the end
if you want it to--I always tell it to.

Likewise, there is a program called 'kbdconfig' to setup the keyboard.
AFAIK, it does _not_ update the X configuration.

For X, you have several choices:
Xconfigurator           -- My personal favorite. Same interface as
 mouseconfig.
xf86config                      -- Totally text-based.  Last resort.
xf86cfg                                 -- X-GUI.  Nice, but didn't run well for me.

I hope this helps.
