To make it even work I had to put

What am I missing?
During my short-lived and generally moderately clueless
experimentation with the latest xorg-server, evdev and a hal-enabled
PS/2 keyboard and a hal-enabled Logitech USB mouse, the mouse was not
the problem, but the keyboard layouts were the killer which prompted
me to disable hal altogether (ref: earlier "CTRL+C kills
korganizer"-thread).
Those changes gave me a functional USB mouse pointer with xorg-server
1.5.x, but my keyboard problems went away only after I disabled acpid
and hal, and re-emerged xorg-server with USE="-hal". Wasted nearly
three good weeks' nights and weekends there with kde 4.2.0 upgrade, so
you can understand my above-average grumpiness about hal -- just
disable it unless you really really need it. :(
I've felt the pain (MS natural keyboard) until recently. For my two
~x86 systems, here's the procedure that worked to get hal/xorg working.
* set INPUT_DEVICES and VIDEO_CARDS in make.conf
* set hal use flag in make.conf
* emerge -uDNav world
* emerge xorg-x11
* emerge xf86-input-evdev
* create a default xorg.conf (Xorg --configure)
* remove all InputDevice sections in xorg.conf
* remove all references to InputDevice in the ServerLayout section
* configure your video in xorg.conf
* test using X -config path/to/new/xorg.conf
Here's my xorg.conf: http://gist.github.com/68202
