Many thanks Greg. Would it be the same reason why I don't see 
mouse/keyboard enabled during normal X11 session? See my other post. I 
installed KDE and do startx. Keyboard and mouse work fine in the console 
mode but as soon as KDE launches the mouse is no longer working. I guess 
the X11 server uses the amdgpu driver which may somehow disable input 
devices because of EVDEV? Is that assumption correct? And if yes, would 
using a generic CPU-powered graphics solve the keyboard/mouse issue?
