Greetings! Sorry, i'm not experienced with this. But the only thing which may b changed is mouse device. In FreeBSD sometime i was in need of /dev/sysmouse to work. And in Linux this is /dev/mouse (afair). I look through my XF86Config (But for X 4.2.0 on FBSD 4.3-RELEASE) and don't c anything else which may b OS-dependent. IMHO, You are in right direction. X is not part of OS (we r not in M$ world, what is great).
