I am coming late to the party here but I not so long ago did this on an old
ATI R300 card and and an NVidia FX-5200. All I had to do was to make sure to
emerge evdev by:
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev"
in /etc/make.conf and then comment out the mouse/keyboard stanzas in my
existing xorg.conf. And then it worked.
If you really feel you need a new video card, I recently got a GeForce 9400
GT. It has 512MB of RAM, is inexpensive and KDE 4.2 performance is very
acceptable.
