Hello guys,

Good news, all the problems are solved!
Searching and reading about the upgrade of xorg-server, I did what the
installation message says, and the kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=6 was the flag I
needed!
Long history short, I learned 2 things:
1- RTFM and all messages that pop up
2- The devd was replaced by udev, so evdev with libinput is the default for
automatic input detection on X now

Thanks for the help!

Mario
