Hey, I'm running/building a stage 1 Gentoo system and I'm having trouble trying to get my Optical USB mouse working.

I got the touchpad working (It's a laptop) but X can never use my USB mouse. when I cat /dev/usbmouse I'm shown the weird characters when I move my USB mouse, but nothing with the touchpad. So it is working. I loaded up Knoppix and the USB mouse worked and the touchpad was screwy. I copied the XF86config to my home directory so I could mess with it. I just added the USB mouse section to my XF86config that has my monitor and touchpad working. That's the only difference between this file and the one that works correctly.
