Are the --enable-kdrive-mouse and --enable-kdrive-kbd arguments
necessary?  They seem unrelated to the specific symptomps originally
reported, and according to <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=646686#12> they may have issues.  From that bug

It seems like just adding --enable-kdrive-evdev would be sufficient and
safer, no?

Title:
  xserver-xephyr: Couldn't find keyboard driver evdev

Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “xorg-server” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xephyr

  When starting Xephyr with the following command line:

  Xephyr :5 -ac -screen 1280x1024 -mouse evdev,,device=/dev/input/by-id
  /usb-04d9_0499-event-mouse -keybd evdev,,device=/dev/input/by-id/usb-
  Logitech_Logitech_USB_Keyboard-event-
  kbd,xkbrules=xorg,xkbmodel=evdev,xkblayout=de,xkbvariant=nodeadkeys,xkboptions="lv3:ralt_switch,compose:caps"
  -dpi 100

  The following messages are printed on the console:

  [dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic, removing from list!
  Kbd option key (compose:caps) of value ((null)) not assigned!
  Couldn't find pointer driver evdev
  Couldn't find keyboard driver evdev

  The keyboard and mouse are not working.

  When downgrading xserver-xephyr to version 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7, the error
  messages about evdev don't appear and keyboard and mouse work as
  expected.
