Hello

The standard and preferred way now is to use the evdev input system.
This means you should use the libinput driver for both keyboard and
mouse. See the xorg.conf I attached to the previous email thread as an
example, it has both filled in with the libinput driver; you can just
copy them over into your xorg.conf. Also ensure you have the following
packages installed:

- libinput
- xf86-input-libinput
- libevdev
- py39-evdev

Note that you have a syntax error ("Keeyboard0" v "Keyboard0") in your
xorg.conf.
