continuing the saga:
1. I edited the screen resolution settings in XF86Config-4, and it didn't
change anything in screen resolution.
2. The Options ZAxisMapping "4 5" entries already exist, but my scroll wheel
isn't working. I changed the listed mouse-type from PS/2 to ImPS/2, vaguely
remembering having seen ImPS/2 somewhere before, and the scroll wheel now works,
though. One problem of two solved.
3. It complains that there's no such option as --reconfigure when I try "dpkg
--reconfigure xserver-xfree86".
