I did something kind of stupid, when I first installed Gentoo, I

hasn't help, so there must be something else. Should I rebuild my
xorg.conf file?
This isn't a gentoo-amd64 question, but my guess is that your xorg.conf
points to the usb mouse. The synaptics probably comes up as a normal
psaux mouse. Simply adding another mouse device section should do it.
Google should be able to find this for you. ("synaptics device
section")

don't forget to enable Device Manager in kernel (multidevice...)
You mean RAID/LVM? You don't need that unless you are using RAID or
volume management. Almost every desktop user doesn't need that stuff,
the "device manager" you are thinking about is nothing like the
windows one, it's for managing arrays of drives in servers, not system
devices.
If you have synaptic touchpad, you need device manager.
At least what I've tried on notebook. Compile it into kernel.
I afraid that you can't get touchpad working unless it's enabled.
