Now it seems as if the issue is related to X or the driver stuff.
I have three ideas.

1. Do you have any xorg.conf things in /etc or the related
directories? Nowadays X is not so bad in guessing the hardware which
makes xorg.conf and such obsolete. If there are X config files it
might be worth to move them to a safe place and to try without them.

2. It is unlikely, but it might be that some of the xinput related
programs or libraries have been corrupted. It might help to reinstall
them.

3. The comparison of Xorg.log of Debian and Knoppix may give some
indication.

Kind regards,
Christoph
