xorg-server 1.3.99 and the synaptics driver

[Michael Lothian]

Out of interest did you remember to re-emerge libsynaptics and synaptics? It
could be the route of your problems

Also I think the r300-driver overlay has been replaced with the x11 overlay

If not it could be worth testing the auto detect feature of xorg-server
