From a terminal within X while you have booted the LiveCD run xvidtune (emerge
it if you have to). That will tell you what is the HorizSync and
VertRefresh. Assuming all is looking right with the LiveCD use these
settings into your xorg.conf. Another trick is to remove them completely
(just comment them out) and xorg will try to guess them after it probes the
hardware. It may just work. Final gotcha is the mouse. I assume that if it
works with the LiveCD the same settings should do it for you, otherwise you
may want to try playing with mine below and see what gives:
