9 Well it looks like your card is being detected fine, the problem is elsewhere...

16 Probably Donnie's response is closer to the right track here. What
17 does "equery check xf86-input-keyboard" report? How about "equery
18 files xf86-input-keyboard | grep kbd_drv"?. Basically, you should
19 have a /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/kbd_drv.so file that provides this
20 input driver.

26 Is your mouse being found by the kernel? Check your dmesg output, you
27 should see lines like this:
28
29 PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:KBC,PNP0f13:PS2M] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1,12
30 serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
31 serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1
32 mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
33
34 If you don't see them, either your kernel doesn't have mouse support,
35 or you are not loading the necessary module[s].
36
37 If the kernel _is_ detecting your mouse, but you still don't have a
38 /dev/input/mice device node, then you have probably borked your udev
39 rules. Try reverting to the standard udev rules in this case.
