It should be at /etc/vdev

Hmm, that worked for me and Ralph IIRC. I don't have the Devuan machine
here, but the first thing I'd try is add

touch /root/test
touch /run/test

to check if the fs's are writable at the moment that /etc/init.d/vdev
is invoked

Yep, that what I saw as well

And if you start X as root? And if vdev doesn't run there might be no
input. Test if a normal user can read the mouse input in a condole:

$ cat /dev/input/mice

move your mouse and you should get rubbish.

That's a script issue. That has a lower priority IMHO ;-)
