    Looks like your mouse is improperly configured in xorg.conf. What kind of mouse do you have?

    I had the same trouble when I tried to install gentoo on my system (although it wasn't a laptop). But I changed /dev/mouse to /dev/psaux and it fired right up.

    The changing of mouse-device works here too... maybe it ain't /dev/pasaux at your place but some other mouse device? Also, not that importent thought, you should compile in support for DRI to get faster 3D-redering (Enabling hardware acceleration)

    I used /dev/input/mice and it worked perfectly. But when I got out of X-org I still saw the error message where it says that the SIS module could not be loaded. What do I do? Is it going to cause a problem when I try to emerge and run either KDE or GNOME?

    I beleve you can emerge gnome or KDE, just not use them until you xorg starts working correctly.
