:) It's hard to remember all the details when your roof is on fire... <grin>

>From that Xorg log, it does look like the NVidia binary driver is being
loaded/used - what indicators are you seeing that tell you that the nv
driver is being used? If it's just a missing NVidia splash screen, maybe the
updated NVidia driver has it off by default?

For the mouse - things do look fairly normal from the log - however, try the
following (if you don't ahve the xinput command, it is provided by
x11-apps/xinput):

xinput list

This should show you a list of your X input devices - you should see your
mouse there. Mine reads:

"Virtual core pointer"  id=0    [XPointer]
        Num_buttons is 32
        Num_axes is 2
        Mode is Relative
        Motion_buffer is 256
        Axis 0 :
                Min_value is -1
                Max_value is -1
                Resolution is 0
        Axis 1 :
                Min_value is -1
                Max_value is -1
                Resolution is 0
"Virtual core keyboard" id=1    [XKeyboard]
        Num_keys is 248
        Min_keycode is 8
        Max_keycode is 255
"No brand 4 Port KVMSwicther"   id=2    [XExtensionKeyboard]
        Type is KEYBOARD
        Num_keys is 248
        Min_keycode is 8
        Max_keycode is 255
"Logitech USB Optical Mouse"    id=3    [XExtensionPointer]
        Type is MOUSE
        Num_buttons is 32
        Num_axes is 2
        Mode is Relative
        Motion_buffer is 256
        Axis 0 :
                Min_value is -1
                Max_value is -1
                Resolution is 1
        Axis 1 :
                Min_value is -1
                Max_value is -1
                Resolution is 1
"CHICONY HP Basic USB Keyboard" id=4    [XExtensionKeyboard]
        Type is KEYBOARD
        Num_keys is 248
        Min_keycode is 8
        Max_keycode is 255


Then, take the name of the mouse from the list - in my case "Logitech USB
Optical Mouse", and run:

xinput test <mouse-name>

for myself it was xinput test "Logitech USB Optical Mouse" - with the
quotes.

The move the mouse a little, and run the scroll wheel a little - you should
see something along the lines of:

motion a[0]=2
a[1]=-4

motion a[0]=7
a[1]=-5

motion a[0]=2
a[1]=-11

motion a[0]=-4
a[1]=-11

motion a[0]=-9
a[1]=-10

motion a[0]=-7
a[1]=-13

motion a[0]=-6
a[1]=-13

motion a[0]=-6
a[1]=-11

motion a[0]=-5
a[1]=-8

button press   5
button release 5
button press   4
button release 4
button press   5

button release 5


IMPORTANT: Make a note of which scroll direction you do first, then second.
In my case, I scrolled down first (button 5 press/release), then up (button
4 press/release) - if you get different button numbers for down/up
scrolling, then we just need to adjust your ZAxisMapping setting in
xorg.conf appropriately - use whatever button number you see when you scroll
up as the first number in the setting, and then the down scroll button
number as the second number.

If things are still not working, post the output of all the above commands,
and we'll take it from there.

Hope that helps!
