Hello, much very like bugs.gentoo.org/658088 but on a different package. It might be related, same symptom, mouse does not work. Using qingy to authenticate to the system and start the X session. After the installation of xorg-server-1.20, using framebuffer mode before and after the authentication, mouse and keyboard works, mouse is using sys-libs/gpm at that point. After the start of a X session, everything starts properly, X session starts, keyboard works as well but one can not move the mouse, mouse is dead. Downgrading to xorg-server.1.19; mouse and keyboard works a usual. The system still has mouse and keyboard in make.conf more /etc/portage/make.conf | grep -i input INPUT_DEVICES="mouse keyboard" #INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" Tried to migrate to evdev, but this failed on first attempt. Reverted all to still support keyboard and mouse using xorg-server-1.19. emerge --info Portage 2.3.49 (python 3.6.5-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.0, gcc-7.3.0, glibc-2.27-r6, 4.14.78-gentoo x86_64)

Hello. Managed to get the mouse working using x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.3. Using x11-base/xorg-server-1.19.5-r2 reverted from INPUT_DEVICES "mouse keyboard" to "evdev". grep -i input /etc/portage/make.conf #INPUT_DEVICES="mouse keyboard" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" The wiki article about evdev https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Evdev helped a lot. Then after verifying the input devices are working configured using "evdev" only with the x11-base/xorg-server-1.19.5-r2. Emerged x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.3. Mouse/Keyboard are working with INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" setting. The solution was to change following /etc/portage/make.conf setting: from INPUT_DEVICES="mouse keyboard" to INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" This bug might not even be qingy related. It's solved for the affected system. emerge --info Portage 2.3.51 (python 3.6.5-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.0, gcc-7.3.0, glibc-2.27-r6, 4.14.78-gentoo x86_64)

The solution might be worth trying out on bugs.gentoo.org/658088 bug.
You may also want to try INPUT_DEVICES="libinput" which is the successor of evdev.
