Hi Mick,
I took another look here. It seems that for Virtualbox that
xf86-input-virtualbox is pulling in xf86-input-mouse. Not sure if
that's a bug in the ebuild or whether it's really required. I haven't
spotted any settable flags that seem to effect it. (Haven't looked
very hard.)
Anyway, I'm using evdev for X, like you, and like you I'm getting
the old mouse driver for apparently other reasons. I'm not getting
keyboard but you should be able to use the commands below to determine
why that's happening on your system.
