Use one of the entries in /dev/input/ (i.e. mice, mouse0, mouse1) as your mouse,
instead of /dev/mouse (the default), by doing:

xorgconfig

instead of the graphical

X -configure

ian: Did you try to get help via forums.g.o or the gentoo user mailing list?
This doesn't look like a valid bug, but more as a cry for help.
