Did Gentoo make your xorg.conf, did you edit it manually or with some
tool, or did you make it from scratch?

Your mouse device is probably /dev/input/mice .  Go check.
With that I get a black screen with an X in the middle of it, nothing out of
the mouse

Why would you need this module?  You have ATI hardware.
I commented that out of the configuration file, so it is no longer an issue

May we see the file?  Post it online and give us a link.

Hmm, I wonder where that's coming from.  Typo?
The comp in questin is not functioning, so I don’t have a way to copy the
file out. I have used X -configure, and the line that had the AD in it is no
longer there. ( the line had been in the monitor configuration section and
was a default, not something that I entered)

Add 'BusID "PCI:1:0:1"' to your Device section in your xorg.conf .  But
if you already have a device section with 'BusID "PCI:1:0:0"' in it,
then it means your board appears as two devices.  I saw one such board
earlier tonight (also a Radeon, possibly identical to yours).  I don't
yet know why this is so, or if it is even significant.

There are no bus id's in the conf file at all, adding one as suggested, I
got the following statements when running startx:
Ww Vesa: no matching Device section for instance (BusID pci:1:0:) found
Ee no devices detected

Fatal error:
No screens found
THANKS A BUNCH FOR YOUR INPUT

It's a warning, not an error.  First focus on the syntax problems.

No problem.

/me twiddles thumbs while waiting for someone to have a look at my post
from earlier today... :^)
