I've been using i686 with the 2.6.35 kernel on a HP Mini 110 netbook successfully until a couple days ago. I'm not sure if the problem is from upgrading or general hacking. I've installed xf86-input-synaptics and xf86-input-keyboard
Booting into my console is fine, but as soon as I run slim or openbox I'm unable to use my touchpad/keyboard. My monitor brightness does still work (fn+F3 and F4).
I'm surprised I can't at least use slim. Disabling slim hasn't changed anything once I execute startx. I know Xorg and Openbox aren't totally frozen, because conky is actively running and identifies when I connect usb devices.
rc.conf
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal network netfs @crond @alsa @ifplugd !slim)
I executed Xorge -configure and copied over the new config file, but it didn't help. My Relevant xorg.conf chunks

That doesn't work as this occurs even without slim. I'm looking at Xorg.0.log
(WW) = Warning
(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kdb', mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled.
(WW) Disabling Mouse0
(WW) Disabling Keyboard0
*Solved. This was the problem
