Try changing /var/X11/xdm/Xservers to read

:0 secure /usr/bin/X11/X :0 -boards 0 -devdir /dev/input -bs -nobitscale
-c -pseudomap 4sight -solidroot sgilightblue -cursorFG red -cursorBG
white
:1 secure /usr/bin/X11/X :1 -boards 1 -devdir /dev/input1 -bs
-nobitscale -c -pseudomap 4sight -solidroot sgilightblue -cursorFG red
-cursorBG white

The above are two lines, the wrapping whacks out the formating. Each
line starts with the :x string. Hopefully, the kernel has configured the
keyboard and mouse devices in the /dev/input1 directory. Good luck.
