   HTH, but Jesse is right an we were forewarned about severe X 
breakage.  I got bored so I commented out  exclude=xorg-* an 
updated this afternoon.  Sure'nuff, on reboot, no mouse or kybd.

   This is a fairly new (June) T61 Thinkpad all intel, w/ external 
USB mouse so I thought I might slip in ;)  An I did in a way. 
B'fore I had no xorg.conf, but changed the resolution from 
1680x1050 to 1280x800. Which created an xorg.conf. Worked fine 
before ;)

   Booted a F8 DVD an used the rescue feature to mv xorg.conf to 
old.xorg.conf.  Booted again an everything works, cept I'm back to 
1680x1050.  Tried goin back to 1280 again, which created an 
xorg.conf, same deal, no mouse, no kybd.  So deleleted xorg.conf 
again ;)  Now it works
