I'm trying to get xorg to start up and have some strange problems.

I build xorg on /opt/xorg.  On my x86_64 system, there is no problem
with xorg 7.6.  On both systems I get:

(==) ModulePath set to "/opt/xorg/lib/X11/modules"
(II) The server relies on udev to provide the list of input devices.
If no devices become available, reconfigure udev or disable AutoAddDevices.

On my 686 (xorg 7.7), I get no recognition of any input device:

(==) Using system config directory "/opt/xorg/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
...
(II) config/udev: Adding input device HID 1241:1177 (/dev/input/mouse0)
(II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.

$ ls -l /opt/xorg/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1099 Jun 18 13:51 10-evdev.conf
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 18 14:28 app-defaults

There is no mention of keyboard at all.  However on my x86_64 (xorg 7.6):

(==) Using config directory: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d"
...
(II) config/udev: Adding input device Power Button (/dev/input/event1)
(**) Power Button: Applying InputClass "evdev keyboard catchall"
(**) Power Button: Applying InputClass "evdev keyboard catchall"
(II) LoadModule: "evdev"
(II) Loading /opt/xorg/lib/X11/modules/input/evdev_drv.so
...

$ ls -l /etc/X11
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 4096 May 15 23:39 app-defaults
lrwxrwxrwx   31 May 15 23:03 xorg.conf.d -> /opt/xorg/share/X11/xorg.conf.d

$ ls -l /opt/xorg/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1099 May 15 23:03 10-evdev.conf

--------

both evdev files are the same.  The twm/xterm/xclock programs come up 
fine on the screen with a centered mouse pointer that I can't move and 
the keyboard is inoperative.  I can get the KB back if I kill xinit from 
an ssh session on another system.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to get more debugging info? 
/opt/xorg/lib/X11/modules/input/evdev_drv.so is on both systems.
