[ale] X configuration problem

I have a Dell I8600.  It had an NVIDIA 32m card, and I had my X11 
configuration working right as it had been for years.  I upgraded my video 
card to an ATI 9600 Radeon 128M.  

My system runs Gentoo/x.org X11.

I've "spliced in" the relevant portions of an XF86Config I found on the web, 
and the video is working 'fine' (it may not be perfectly tuned, but it 
works).   However, with the new configuration, I can get neither of my two 
mice (touchpad, or USB mouse) to work.  As far as I can tell, I made no 
changes to that area of the config, and I see no errors when I do a "startx".

The file is attached.  Any suggestions appreciated.
