There are many threads and many possible ways of addressing the problem: 1) emerge "xf86-input-evdev" and set up input devices using the new configuration method (out of xorg.conf, into FDI files) -- this also requires a certain kernel option to be enabled. 2) Add this option to ServerLayout section of xorg.conf: Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false" 3) rebuild xorg-server with hal USE flag disabled Any one of those 3 should fix the problem. The first one is the "new" way, the others will leave you using legacy configuration methods. Use whatever works best for you. :) There are other possible things you may need to do depending on your particular setup. Fancy mice or non-English keyboards especially will need additional effort to configure the same as before.
