You mean like this, the way it's always been?  Or is there something more
specific I have to do?
treat src # eix x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse
[I] x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse
     Available versions:  1.5.0{tbz2} {debug}
     Installed versions:  1.5.0{tbz2}(09:38:05 PM 05/11/2010)(-debug)
     Homepage:            http://xorg.freedesktop.org/
     Description:         X.Org driver for mouse input devices

treat src #

BTW, the most recent boot started X without the mouse working, but these two

line 44-47: (==) |-->Input Device "evdev"
            (==) |-->Input Device "<default keyboard>"
            (==) The core pointer device wasn't specified explicitly in the

                    Using the first mouse device.


line 457:   (==) MACH64(0): Silken mouse enabled

(MACH64 is my video card)

Silken is)


These are the only lines with the word "mouse" in them.
