Maybe it'll help if I give you my setup, which does work. First the
most dramatic difference is that I'm using ~amd64 and you're using
x86, so there may be some fundamental version differences going on.
Hardware-wise, I use a USB US-English keyboard, a plain USB mouse with
no special features other than 2 buttons and a wheel. I use
nvidia-drivers for graphics (GeForce 9600 GT).
x11-base/xorg-x11 I'm using is version 7.4 and xorg-server version
1.6.2 with these USE flags enabled (and all others disabled): hal
input_devices_evdev input_devices_joystick input_devices_keyboard
input_devices_mouse kdrive nptl sdl video_cards_nv video_cards_nvidia
video_cards_vesa xorg
I have sys-apps/hal version 0.5.12_rc1-r6 with USE="X acpi crypt
kernel_linux" and I have it in the DEFAULT runlevel. I also have
app-misc/hal-info version 20090414 which contains FDI scripts for HAL.
In /etc/make.conf I have this: INPUT_DEVICES="joystick keyboard mouse evdev"
My xorg.conf contains some stuff related to fonts, video driver and
screens, but everything input-related is commented out. Also worth
noting is the order of loading for different copies of xorg.conf in
your system may take, as explained in "man xorg.conf". If you've got a
stray config file somewhere, your changes might not even be taking
effect because it could be reading a different file entirely.
I'm using kernel 2.6.30-gentoo-r1, gcc 4.3.3-r2 and glibc-2.10.1. I am
not using hardened.
The profile I'm using is default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop
In my linux kernel config for input devices I've got these set:
#
# Userland interfaces
#
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV=m
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y
#
# Input Device Drivers
#
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ALPS=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LOGIPS2PP=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LIFEBOOK=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_SERIAL=m
CONFIG_INPUT_JOYSTICK=y
CONFIG_JOYSTICK_ANALOG=m
CONFIG_INPUT_MISC=y
CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR=m
in /etc/hal/fdi/policy I have these four files:
10-input-policy.fdi:

</deviceinfo>
Every time I recompile/upgrade xorg-server, I do this:
sudo emerge -1 `qlist -I -C x11-drivers/`
Which in my case includes these packages:
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-185.18.14
x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.2
x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick-1.4.0
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.4.0
x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.1.12
x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-2.2.0
to rebuild the x11-drivers (without doing that, you can be stuck with
the dead mouse/keyboard situation). After they rebuild, I quit X,
"rmmod nvidia", then start X which will load the rebuilt
nvidia-drivers module.
Then I happily use my working Xorg :)
