Sorry to persist, but the drivers usually have "xf86-*" in their
name not
"x11" or "xorg", e.g. xf86-input-evdev.
(The category of those packages is of course x11-drivers/ ; i.e. x11-
drivers/xf86-input-evdev)
Other than that could it be a udev issue and some permanent rule
for a USB
type of mouse, which you should remove and restart udev? Don't
know, just an
idea.
I'll try any idea. Where would such a permanent rule reside?

They should be in:
/etc/udev/rules.d
I have been known to back that directory up, delete all the rules and
then re-emerge udev. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. If
you have rules you made yourself, do back them up first.
Of course you may be able to check in the rule files and see if there is
something obviously wrong too.
