I should have been clearer. XF86Setup will indeed fire up an X server, which will be
mostly unusable if XF86Setup picks the wrong mouse type. xf86config also doesn't
require you to know which X server to link to. Which is why I now use xf86config for
initial X setup, then XF86Setup for adjustments.
