Hallo,

I suppose the question is: what input drivers do you think you have
enabled in xorg (evdev or libinput) ?  Please note that the old
keyboard and mouse drivers no longer work on linux (you mentioned
BLFS-7.7 in the other thread, where I think those were perhaps
used).

I remember having read somewhere that Xorg should work without any explicit configuration unlike the former xf86 graphical environment.

I have now compiled everything from BLFS that smells like "input" (but leaving out VMware, Wacom etc. stuff which I don't own) and I'll retry again.

Also after getting the input to work, I suggest using one of the base window
managers (fluxbox, icewm, openbox, or sawfish) instead of twm.

yes, I intend to do that eventually, but twm seemed like a good testbed for my first (GUI) time ;)

That is exactly why twm is in the book.
