What do you mean with "driver"? There's no kernel module named either
keyboard no kdb. And I suppose I don't need any driver to use the keyboard.
Anyway, my problem definitely is cause by the missing mouse device.
Xorg.0.log says:
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mouse0
        No such file or directory.
(EE) Configured Mouse: cannot open input device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Configured Mouse"

These are the only lines containing (EE).

Regards,
Carsten
