Well, the /dev/fb0 is not related to your keyboard/mouse problem since that device is a "frame buffer" which is related to video.  My reason for suggesting what I did is that I only see this error on my systems when the nVidia drivers are not installed.

What type of keyboard/mouse do you have?  PS2, USB, Bluetooth?

If you

grep "input device" /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep XINPUT

what do you get?

On one system I have a USB keyboard/mouse combination and I see...

[egreshko at meimei log]$ grep "input device" Xorg.0.log | grep XINPUT

While on my laptop I see....

But, rather than picking out bits and pieces of your Xorg log file, maybe post it somewhere for everyone to see?
