But that also means no opportunity to configure things that would be
configured in there. That's what I ran into back when I was running
Redhat on a Sparc 5. I wanted to change the mouse configuration. But
there was no config file even being read in to do this.

As soon as I solve my video switching dilemma, I can run some X on my old
Sparc 5's. The dilemma, in case others have an answer, is that my KVM
box won't switch to a port (where I plug the Sparc 5 into) unless there
is also a keyboard plugged in. I only have space for 1 monitor here, so
this has to be it. Until then, I'm on serial console because changing
the cables around to bypass the switch locks me out of other things. I
guess I could try hacking on the serial console problems.
