I know my system sees a mouse.

I can see my IPOD.

My PS2 keyboard works.

I can see other USB mice that work using lsusb
#lsusb

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 062a:0003 Creative Labs

I can't recall when xorg-drivers and xorg-server updated . So this might be the problem.
My system is up to date.

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocal" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAcisMapping" "4 5 6 7"

Any ideas? Thanks.


Code:

Section "ServerLayout"
   Identifier     "X.org Configured"
   Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0

that did it!

#emerge x11-base/xorg-x11
#emerge xf86-input-evdev

I'm not sure why I did not have this installed?
x11-base/xorg-x11

thanks!

R/emerge x11-base/xorg-x11 not enough.
Need:
# emerge -1 $( qlist -IC x11-drivers/ )
or portage>=2.2 goes well:
# emerge @x11-module-rebuild

Hi GES,

Thank you for posting the fix. I too had encountered this issue recently after doing an update.

Would you mind sharing the reason for this and what steps we can take to prevent it (it looks to me that portage accidentally removed the package x11-base/xorg-x11) i.e. what output should we pay attention to?
