[ale] mouse reconfig

[Jim Philips]

Go to /var/log and look for the XFree86 log. There may be several. Look
for the one written to most recently. It should tell you which version
of XFree86Config it is reading from. On RedHat 7.2, it reads from
XFree86Config-4. This caused me some confusion in fixing my own
problems. Once you're sure you have the right file, modify it. If none
of this works, you can always run XConfigurator again, but this means
reworking ALL of your X settings. So, you would want to have video specs
and everything else at hand.
