Check which driver extensions are loaded using:
Code: [Select]
tce-status -i | grep xf86
I suggest you try with xf86-input-evdev loaded, but not xf86-input-libinput or xf86-input-mouse and see what happens.

(I assume 01-mouse.conf  is placed in /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d)

Also, it would be good to check which input your mouse is using with this:
Code: [Select]
dmesg | grep ttyS

xf86-input-mouse removed fron onboot.lst, xorg.0.log attached.

Code: [Select]
libXxf86dga
libXxf86vm
xf86-input-evdev
xf86-video-fbdev
xf86-video-vesa

Mouse plugged in to COM1.

Code: [Select]
00:0c: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
00:0d: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

So your keyboard is ttyS0?

Sorry, but I've run out of ideas - I don't have the hardware to test.

AFAIK the serial port 1 is ttyS0 and the mouse is usually plugged in to it.
While the serial port 2 is ttyS1, used for modems or digitizer.
On my pc the keyboard is plugged in to the AT port.
Anyway thank you so much for the time you have devoted to me, I'll keep it like that.
