oops, you're right, I didn't see that :) you spelt fglrx as flrx though |
| 14 |
in your first post, but I see someone mentioned that already. |

synaptics is the touchpad driver, and ati, radeon, and fbdev are all |
| 19 |
video drivers. These were just my examples, I was really pointing out |
| 20 |
the INPUT_DEVICES section, which you've pointed out is the same as mine. |

ok, try these google searches: |

replacing? not quite sure what you mean here... |

Mesa is an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification. [1] |

|
| 45 |
probably because ATI was bought by AMD not long ago, and the page you |
| 46 |
visited doesn't exist anymore. |

|
| 51 |
maybe because they're auto-redirect for non-existant linux related pages |
| 52 |
goes here? some sort of semi-intelligent advertising? |

OK, back to your issue. It looks like you have the right options in |
| 59 |
make.conf. If your xorg.conf mouse section is the same as Dale's, then |
| 60 |
it's the same as mine, so that should be fine (/dev/input/mice is ok). |
| 61 |
I use the "kbd" driver, and so do you, so that looks fine. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
That leaves the possibility that somehow the drivers still aren't |
| 64 |
installed. Can you try this command (it wont "do" anything to your |
| 65 |
system) |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
emerge -pv xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-keyboard |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
and then this one: |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
X -version |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
Hope you're getting somewhere! |
