Well then, we need to fix the LFS rules file because the cd just uses the default rules from that. No changes have been made.

Hmm, kinda shot myself in the foot there didn't I!

bash-3.00$ ls -l /dev/input/*
crw-r--r--  1 root root 13, 63 2005-05-16 17:41 /dev/input/mice
crw-r--r--  1 root root 13, 32 2005-05-16 17:41 /dev/input/mouse0

bash-3.00$ ls -l /dev/mouse
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 12 2005-05-16 17:41 /dev/mouse -> input/mouse0

That's because of the following udev rules:

KERNEL="mice",        NAME="input/%k", MODE="0644"
KERNEL="mouse*",    NAME="input/%k", MODE="0644", SYMLINK="mouse"

So, would you livecd guys mind being guinea pigs for LFS? You should be able to just shift the "SYMLINK" argument up a line.

Just reporting on this. I tried this fix on my personal system, and the correct link is made:

/dev/mouse -> input/mice

Which of course, works just fine in Xorg.

Shall we change the udev-config-3.rules file then? :)
