Did you enable dbus? Usually the cause of mouse/keyboard not working under X windows.
It needs to be running.

Can you post the output as "root"

Code:
find / -name  libevdev.so
Code:
find / -name  evdev_drv.so
And

Code:
ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so
Code:
ls -l /usr/lib/libevdev.so
Just for comformation.

By any chance are they "usb Devices"
