That looks worth a try, but I can only experiment with the
mouse since if I lose the keyboard I cannot easily terminate X.

I changed the mouse section of xorg.conf to eliminate the
"Device" specifier.  The "Driver" specifier must be there
or X refuses to start:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "libinput"
#Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"

The udev error is now gone but the mouse still won't
function:

[ 63263.220] (II) Using input driver 'libinput' for 'Mouse1'
[ 63263.220] (**) Option "CorePointer"
[ 63263.220] (**) Mouse1: always reports core events
[ 63263.220] (EE) PreInit returned 2 for "Mouse1"
[ 63263.220] (II) UnloadModule: "libinput"

I need to decipher this "PreInit returned 2" message.

The problem possibly is not with X but with the libinput
driver which somehow interacts with udev (eudev).

Also, I may need to recast the entire xorg.conf file.

This needless nonsense, courtesy of the folks at xorg,
will take some time to figure out.
