On psyche, this should work out of the box (unless you have your X
config from an earlier release).

If your mouse is not USB, Anaconda and redhat-config-xfree86 should
write an XF86Config that includes the following sections, which will
allow you to use a USB mouse hot-plugged.

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Anaconda Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice     "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Mouse1"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "IMPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "no"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection
