Would it be the same reason why I don't see mouse/keyboard enabled during normal X11 session? See my other post. I installed KDE and do startx. Keyboard and mouse work fine in the console mode but as soon as KDE launches the mouse is no longer working. I guess the X11 server uses the amdgpu driver which may somehow disable input devices because of EVDEV? Is that assumption correct? And if yes, would using a generic CPU-powered graphics solve the keyboard/mouse issue?
