Hi, in my make.conf I have these INPUT_DEVICES and VIDEO_CARDS
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics"
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nv v4l vesa"

My server is compiled with these USE FLAGs that I think worked for me

x11-base/xorg-server-1.2.0-r3  USE="dri ipv6 nptl sdl xorg xprint (-3dfx)  
-debug -dmx -kdrive -minimal" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse

My graphic card is Nvidia FX Go 5700.

Yes, I sync at least twice a week and I do emerge -upvDN world &&  
revdep-rebuild. I considered 2006.1 to be somehow old, but I was advised  
on #gentoo-amd64 not to leave it as the next one could be still somehow  
experimental.
