Do you have evdev installed? Without it, you probably won't have any keyboard or mouse. Recent xorg made dramatic changes to the way hardware is detected/configured by using HAL and evdev. xorg.conf is basically unused now when it comes to configuring hardware. I don't even have keyboard or mouse, or video modelines or anything like that in mine. Search the list archives or the gentoo web forums, there are many many people who had the same issues (assuming it's the cause of yours). Thanks, Paul
