I've never heard of /etc/X11/xkb, and I don't have it on my systems. Get
rid of it.

Perhaps you don't have the keyboard driver installed. Install
portage-utils and run `qlist -I x11-drivers` -- this should get
installed if you have configured the INPUT_DEVICES variable properly in
make.conf, or even if you left it blank (Assuming you aren't on a
super-old profile).

Sounds like your kernel's missing mouse support, or you've specifically
configured udev to do something other than the default behavior.
