Can you post your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file?  .... or at least have a
look at the Keyboard/Mouse entries.  Mine look like this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"              "xfree86"
        Option          "XkbModel"              "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"             "gb"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/gpmdata" 
        Option          "Protocol"              "IntelliMouse" 
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true" 
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5" 
EndSection
