[ale] Mouse/X Windows question

[esoteric at denali.atlnet.com (Wandered Inn)]

Once you boot into X, switch to another console (via ctrl-alt-f2 for
example), login and fix your config.  While there you might want to
modify /etc/inittab so that you boot to console rather than X, until you
have verified you've fixed your X problem.
