I've installed RC1 on two systems and ran into a little problem when using a PS/2 mouse and configuring X. I've tried all 3 of the methods thru sysinstall and not had a successful configuration and had to configure X after installation was complete. If I use "PS/2" as the mouse protocol and "/dev/sysmouse" as the device, the X configuration always fails. If I edit the XF86Config file and use "Auto" as the mouse protocol, it will work. I've not figured out how to get the configuration utilities to use "Auto" so that the normal sysinstall flow will be followed. By not following the flow of sysinstall, there is no opportunity to select a default desktop as well as the side effect of the appropriate entries in /usr/share/skel/ not being made, particularly dot.xinitrc in this case. I'll keep looking for a solution that is appropriate for the Handbook section on installation for new users. I hope I'm missing something obvious here and someone will point it out. I'd like to find a smooth path within sysinstall without having to resort to post-install hand editing.
