Good. That's what I thought.

Yes, it's writeable after I log in and before I start vdev. Works for root
or user.

Starting X as root isn't any better. No mouse, no keyboard.

'cat /dev/input/mice' only works for root and gives me mouse language.

Oh, chmod g+rw and chown root:input on /dev/input/mice helps. Now user can
get mouse talk (and a prompt in mouse glyphs.) But still no activity on
the desktop.

Maybe I should do this on a fresh devuan install. This is on a system that
started as wheezy, became jessie with openbox and without systemd, then
became devuan. Other than that, it's an up-to-date devuan.
