Hi, I have just built XORG 7.7using BLFS-systemd development version 02-24-2016. The LFS version is systemd-7.9-rc2.
I built the XORG system and build the event driver including all of its dependencies and the Nouveau driver. I brought up the X-Windows desktop using startx. The video works fine and I get the desktop with 5h3 three X terms, the clock, etc. However, neither the mouse nor the keyboard work. I had to kill startx from an ssh session to shutdown the X-Windows desktop, This rang a bell. My first though was that one of devices had a security problem, but when I used root to bring up X-windows, I got the same result. I then used Google and found the problem described for Arch-Linux (my usual go-to for configuration when I'm bringing up software not described by LFS/BLFS). This gave me the answer. I needed the event driver configuration file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf] Since I was building this sytem from a BLFS-systemd-7.8 system (kinda since that was/is only in the current development branch), I had an existing file that I had gotten before and adding it to my new system fixed the problem. The comment that starts the files is that its necessary for any udev-based system. So, while my problem is solved, I think the book needs to be updated to supply such a file or at least instructions for creating that file.
