--- Comment #3 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net> ---
xf86-input-evdev and xf86-input-libinput are sort-of mutually exclusive, the
latter overwrites the former so having xf86-input-evdev installed usually won't
do anything. You can still have both installed though.

libevdev and libinput are dependencies, the latter requires the former

and evemu is a completely separate tool, see
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/reporting_bugs.html#evemu
I don't know enough about gentoo to help you with that though, evemu is stable
enough that it shouldn't be an issue...

Judging by the list of event nodes (easier to attach /proc/bus/input/devices to
see the name) you don't have a touchpad event node. This indicates that the
kernel doesn't initialize the touchpad, so libinput can't do anything with it.
Does the rescue cd have the same kernel?
