12 Hi Mick,
13 I took another look here. It seems that for Virtualbox that
14 xf86-input-virtualbox is pulling in xf86-input-mouse. Not sure if
15 that's a bug in the ebuild or whether it's really required. I haven't
16 spotted any settable flags that seem to effect it. (Haven't looked
17 very hard.)

19 Anyway, I'm using evdev for X, like you, and like you I'm getting
20 the old mouse driver for apparently other reasons. I'm not getting
21 keyboard but you should be able to use the commands below to determine
22 why that's happening on your system.
