Joris, Thanks for the lead. It's always nice to have some hardware detection. Does it build a database so that when new hardware is installed, it opens a dialog for you to configure it during the boot process?
The discover is a frontend for hardware detection tools, and you mentioned one for the mouse (mdetect) and one for the monitor (read-edid). Are there backends for other kinds of hardware, such as scsi or a NIC? Discover can be set up to make the boot process aware of hardware and ensure the necessary modules are loaded. Is this meant as a backup in case module.conf fails to do its job? Discover has a friend, which is "discover-data." That seems to be a database for common hardware, again to ensure drivers are properly loaded. Do you feel it is really necessary or useful?
