Thanks.

I am already operating the machine in run-level 3 and using startx to
run X11 from the command line.  Keyboard and mouse work correctly on
the text console, but not at all in X11 without the above mentioned
option AutoAddDevices off.

I used yum to install X11 from Fedora 13 repository into my Fedora 12
installation.  Yum installed all required dependencies on xorg-x11*
packages which were:
 grubby-7.0.13-1.fc13.i686.rpm
 kernel-PAE-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686.rpm
 linux-firmware-20100806-2.fc13.noarch.rpm
 udev-151-10.fc13.i686.rpm

Attached is a diff of the X11 log files.  The only difference is with
the option AutoAddDevices off, X11 loads the keyboard and mouse drives
and without the option, relying on udev, no keyboard and mouse are
detected.

Also attached are the subsections of the "udevadm info --export-db"
output which mention keyboards or mice.

Any body know how I track down udev seeming not to passing keyboard
and mice information to X11?

Thanks,
Mike
