the problem turned out to be this one. Once I installed
xserver-xorg-input-all, everything worked fine. But I have no idea how I
had arrived at this situation with the X server being installed, but not
any of the input drivers, because the xserver-xorg package (installed)
depends on one of those input packages. That's also why it did not occur
to me to look at this problem. I can also say for sure that nobody but
me is fiddling with the machine in question, at least not yet.


Sorry for the noise.


Thanks,
