In the case of keyboard, my attempts without xorg.conf caused many problems; 
one, if I remember correctly, some messages of error showed up when using ssh.

LXDM, in my case. Before, I used SLIM. I started using login tools, after 
reading about security issues without them (I cannot remember if it was in 
Gentoo or ArchLinux).

I noticed them long ago, but what I mean is that, at first, it seemed to me 
that there were some kind of special names for the files, and I could not find 
them anywhere.

There are no modelines for the resolutions that I need to use for 
vmware-player. Also, the driver must be *vesa*, without vm-tools, and 
*vmwlegacy*, after the tools are installed. I have to define video driver and 
modelines, using cvt and then use them in xorg.conf. Without it, xrandr cannot 
set the desired screen size. With the wrong driver I had to wait almost a 
minute, when trying to move windows.

This is being written in a guest vmware-player running LFS6.8. Attached is a 
copy of the xorg.conf.

Essential sections are
Section "ServerFlags"
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0" (when using a Marble Mouse)
Section "Modes" (to define modeline)
Section "Monitor" (to define HorizSync VertRefresh and UseModes)
Section "Device" (to define video driver)
Section "Screen" (to define DefaultDepth and Modes)

To each one, I have a respective file in LFS SVN-20111210.
