The system is currently using devfs and my mouse problem is still there, exactly the same way as before. So, my theory about udev being the=20 culprit is out the window. I have tried booting from the livecd. I wasn't able to run X with this configuration, but I tried issuing the "cat /dev/input/mice" command. With the livecd, there is data coming back when I turn the=20 mouse wheel. When I boot into the gentoo that is installed on the harddisk and do the same thing, no data comes back when I turn the mouse wheel. As a result, I am almost certain that this is related to the kernel=20 configuration.
