Nvidia - Gentoo

I was setting up a laptop for a friend of mine and followed the guide at Gentoo's website. and found that I needed to run:
/etc/init.d/hald start
rc-update add hald

What happened if I didn't do it. The X would start but Cont + Alt + backspace wouldn't do anything and there would be no mouse use.

This let the computers be able to start the X server.

I also had to install nvidia from the website.

Hope this helps.
