yeah it works in console.

whats odd is i just used apt-get install xserver-xfree86 and it did the 
configure stuff.  From that I can see debian has no visible support for USB, 
and provides it via wrapper stuff...  should i not use dpkg-reconfigure to 
setup X there?

its really odd, since ive never seen this on any of my other systems.
