It was not so clear for me at the beginning. I will try to explain the hole problem again: My wife has a PC and a Laptop ( ThinkPad). Both build from the scratch, with the new xorg. Both were working. Then, we needed to recompile the kernel ( Linux-3.1 ) in the Laptop, to enable wireless.After compilation, the KDE Desktop showed up, but no keybords and no mouse were working. Then, as a try, we compiled again the existing kernel in the PC, withouth changing anything, and the keyboard and mouse stopped working, exactly like on the Laptop. The last issue means: kernel compiled during LFS7, BLFS build, everything working. Kernel recompiled, withouth changes, keyboard and mouse stopped working ! I have also a PC and a ThinkPad. Both built from the scratch, but few days before the building of my wife's boxes, therefore my boxes build with the old xorg withouth evdev. Here no problems with keyboard or mouse, no matter if I recompile the kernel ( e.g.wireless ) or not.

I think, this is the clue. evdev_drv.la and evdev_drv.so are in /usr/lib/X11/modules/input but nobody is mounting them ;-) Edgar -- Dr.-Ing.
