You know how if you do an # xf86cnfg how you use the keypad to move
around if your mouse isn't set up right?  Maybe you could allow the use
of the keypad as a mouse -- that is if the only thing you're using in X
is emacs.  You could also write a script to rotate XFree86 config files
-- one with a mouse and one with the keypad if you /really/ need to use
Xemacs instead of plain old emacs.
