[...] I have just updated xorg to 1.9.4 with USE -hal and removed hal in this order (also needed to remove hal from the default run level). I tried startx using the existing xorg.conf and X does not start correctly, I have no mouse and a frozen screen (no keyboard) with the arrow cursor placed in the middle of the screen. I also tried to start X without an xorg.conf; same problem.
Since you removed HAL support, did you enable udev support?
emerge --depclean -vp Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to the following required packages not being installed: sys-apps/hal pulled in by: x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.2.1
Check your package.use. Also try to unmerge xf86-input-synaptics and then emerge it again.
