rawhide but X does not seem to read it so I don't have my preffered
resolution and my mouse forward and back buttons don't work.
I don't know about the mouse side of things, but your 'preferred'
resolution is actually set in Gnome using System > Preferences > Screen
Resolution.
The xorg.conf file tells the system what your screen is capable of, but
the use of user defined screen resolutions allows each user to set what
they would prefer as there resolution, instead of being stuff with
whatever resolution the sysadmin for that machine thinks is 'Right
(TM)'.
It may well be that your mouse behavior is also user defined.
