I did as you suggest, but with an unhappy outcome. I installed these
packages on a raw ascii 2.0.0 system:
aptitude
xserver-xorg-video-dummy, xserver-xorg-input-void, xserver-xorg-core
xinit, x11-xserver-utils
xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi, xfonts-scalable
fluxbox, xfonts-terminus, feh
Result is that when xserver is run by user, it brings up a frozen
fluxbox window manager. No keyboard or mouse input. My keyboard is
dead. So had to do a hot shutdown.
After rebooting I take a look at ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log and find
...
mouseset 0: Damage tracking initialized
config udev; adding input device device Power Button
(/dev/input/event5)
No input driver specified, ignoring this device
This device may have been added with another device file.
This stanza is repeated for many devices such as device Video Bus, Power
Button, device Sleep Button, device logitek USB Receiver, and many
others. The last is device BRLTTY Linux 5.4 Screen Driver Keyboard
I find udev and eudev to be both installed, but apparently udev is being
used.
