What options did you use to configure X? Did you install the XInput extension? If so, what parts of XInput did you install?

Are you starting the desktop using startx or using a desktop manager like LightDM or LXDM?

Does the keyboard work, or do both the keyboard and mouse fail?

Also I would be interested in knowing, when you ran the configure script to build X, what options you used.

At the very least, please show me the output of:
Code:
ls -lR /usr/lib/xorg/modules
This will tell me more about how you configured X.

Sorry for my late reply. I think I'm in a different timezone from you and I have very little spare time.

But anyway, I don't really know what the issue is. I'll point you to this thread on Ask Ubuntu which looks similar: https://askubuntu.com/questions/5920...x-installed-on

Do you still have the configuration for your LFS kernel? If so, please show me the output of:
Code:
grep -F -e 'INPUT' -e 'MOUSE' [the path to your kernel configuration file; it's probably located at "/boot/config-*"]
Also please place the output of that command into a code tag; it makes the output easier to read for me (my fonts are pretty lame).

Also, do you have VirtualBox set up to emulate a USB mouse, or a PS/2 mouse? Make sure your kernel is configured to support whatever mouse VirtualBox emulates.

Thanks for your patience and cooperation.

No, I was asking you to supply your kernel configuration to that grep command. Suppose your configuration file is at "/boot/config-5.2.21". Well, execute the command:
Code:
grep -F -e 'INPUT' -e 'MOUSE' /boot/config-5.2.21
Or if your configuration is located in "/usr/src/linux/.config", run:
Code:
grep -F -e 'INPUT' -e 'MOUSE' /usr/src/linux/.config
You say you've built LXDE on another machine and the mouse technically works. What type of mouse are you using there? Are you using the same kernel you compiled for the VirtualBox system?
