I just did a fresh Gentoo 2005.1 install and encountered the same problem as eldzis. Scorpaen's suggestion worked perfectly for me. Just thought I'd mention this in case others encountered this same problem.

Sometimes it's not obvious which device the mouse gets attached to. Something I've done in the past is to cat the device

> cat /dev/mouse

and then move the mouse around and see if you get some gobbledygook.
