Here are my talking points for tonight. Since this will be a loose =20
discussion more than a presentation, I won't have any handouts.

Documentation:
http://www.x.org/archive/X11R7.0/doc/html/xorg.conf.5.html

Possible things to try:

man xorg.conf

Need an Inputdevice section for both mouse and keyboard

xorg -probeonly
xorg -configure
xorg -scanpci
scanpci|lspci
xdpyinfo
X -showDefaultModulePath
X -showDefaultLibPath
pkg-config --variable=3Dmoduledir xorg-server
pkg-config --variable=3Dlibdir xorg-server

ServerLayout ----> Input Devices
               ----> Output Devices

Screen ----> Device
               ----> Monitor

Other Commands to investigate:

xrdb -merge /your/resource/file
xset
gtf
