You already found my test load :)
Glad it helped someone.

Did you have/add "evdev" in "make.conf" for INPUT_DEVICES?
"evdev" is built-into-the-kernel or a kernel module. The newer input 
function, augmenting/replacing the AT keyboard and /dev/psaux.
( Seems "evdev" is almost replacing the functions of "xf86-input" 
libraries for Xorg.)

What CPU flags did you set/unset for the build?

My reason for asking ... a lot of software has an unmarked dependency on 
"sse/sse2". If the info on the Atom CPU I found was correct ... it 
doesn't have sse/sse2 instruction sets.

Hope this helps.
