It,s got to be something in the kernel to do with usb, not sure what.

Check the Xorg how-to that's in the forum here.

The Xorg event driven mouse drivers depend heavily on udev, evdev, and other libraries that are recommended and maybe even required. The classic drivers depend on the the kernel. If you missed any dependencies for the drivers the mouse may not work. You also can try to use xf86-input-mouse if necessary, and use the optional flags to disable new device scanning. It's all in the How-To guide.

Hello,

my problem was solved.i find the solution that this issue caused by kernel doesn't add to grub so i am facing this issue.i solved this problem by simply running two commands i.e

Code:

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

and

Code:

grub-install /dev/sda

after i restart my system i selected a LFS kernel after that run "startx" my keyboard and mouse running very well.in the previous days Repearx7 suggest me That

If you use Slackware as a host in the VM, use Slackware's Grub2 package. You should check and make sure also that Grub did install on the LFS as well.

on this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...fs-4175517800/but i can't understand his words that's why i cause this issue till today.i don't know that copy and paste is working on xorg windows are not?any way my problem was solved.
