Trying to isolate the problem, we took an image of LFS7  ( nothing but LFS7) to 
a new partition on the PC, compiled xorg and started fluxbox. Everything ok, 
mouse, keyboard and screen.

Then, we recompiled the kernel ( 3.1, lfs 7 config) with two small changes ( 
fuse driver added, device drivers-> generic driver option  ) and rebooted the 
system. As already reported, the screen (in this case fluxbox ) shows up, but 
no keyboard, no mouse are availaible.
However, Xorg.0.log was this time different:

------------------

evdev was loaded, but I faced an "Inappropriate ioctl for device"

I shall follow up the problem, perhaps installing xorg.confs for mouse and 
keyboard, but it seems to me, that something in the game xorg/kernel ist not 
yet foolproved. There are some reports about this or  similar problems in 
google, e.g.  

Bug #521436 “ioctl EVIOCGNAME failed: Inappropriate ioctl for de ...
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521436

and others ( withouth solutions ).

I wonder, if somebody has observed similar effects recompiling the kernel in a 
new xorg ( evdev ) environment.
