We don't handle serial mice without an xorg.conf either. If your 
hardware's old enough to have reached the age of consent in most of the 
world, and if you're then running a modern X.org on it anyway, writing a 
static configuration seems like a sensible thing to do. KMS defaults to 
1024x768 without KMS, so if you can't manage that you've failed long 
before you get near X.
