I agree with Holger on most points, but to answer the question other
than with another question, Xglamo is a part of kdrive and I don't
think kdrive lets you use evdev input out of the box, but OE has or
had some patch to add that and to use it you need(ed) to pass
-use-evdev and -mouse /dev/something.  If you used Xorg you would just
have to use "evdev" as the input driver.

Cheers
