Created attachment 558460 [details] ebuild with added kernel config checks GPM needs kernel CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV set to work, as there will be no /dev/input/mouseX or /dev/input/mice to read mouse events from without it. The attached ebuild adds kernel config checking. I'm sure it's in some way incorrect as this is my first ebuild rodeo. The documentation for linux-info.eclass and pulseaudio.ebuild and qemu.ebuild (which I used as references) also seem to conflict each other pretty badly ;)
