Kevin, what I would try first is to set INPUT_DEVICES="evdev mouse" in your |
| 55 |
/etc/make.conf, then emerge x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse and finally reboot. |
| 56 |
Unless your mouse needs some special driver it will just work. |

I've been down this road (with simpler hardware than yours it seems) and my |
| 59 |
machine would not start xorg if I did not have INPUT_DEVICES="evdev mouse |
| 60 |
keyboard". On my laptops I had to also add synaptics. |
