Re: Xorg installation- SOLVED!

Dear Alpha list,

The problem was in my kernel.  I had not enabled evdev.  Using make 
menuconfig, that's under:
Device Drivers-->Input Device Support-->Event Interface

That's not in the Gentoo Alpha handbook.  I guess it's a little stale at 
this point.
I've got a suggestion for that, if it does get updated, but I'll put it 
in separate post.

Thanks for looking in on this.

Adios,  DW
