I tried plugging in a usb mouse, but the same error still happened.
I fixed this on 10/14 and we did a build later that day, so it should be fine. On a test machine here, I see /dev/input/event{0-3} being created. After X fails, can you switch over to tty2 and check that those exist?
I still experienced the same error using a 10/25 tree.
