You could go with "gs-sources" as it's based on an even *newer* kernel, 2.4.23_pre8 or pre9. I switched to that and my attempts at getting USB mouse, keyboard, and digital camera went away (not without add'l work, mind you ... that add'l work *may* have worked with an older kernel too).

How long does it usually take for a package like gentoo-test-sources to be approved for the stable system?
