@Giovanni. Thanks for the log. This bit ...

(II) Cannot locate a core pointer device.
(II) Cannot locate a core keyboard device.
(II) The server relies on HAL to provide the list of input devices.
 If no devices become available, reconfigure HAL or disable AllowEmptyInput.

... is nothing to worry about. Although it sounds like a failure it's actually just informational. It's saying that because no mouse or keyboard were found in the config file (if there was one) that the server will rely on HAL to find input devices later.

The signature of the bug we're dealing with here is a fatal error when no devices are actually found at this HAL configuration stage. Your log doesn't seem to be exhibiting that same problem. My instinct says you may have a slightly different issue. I recommend opening a new bug for yours just now, if later we find it is the same we can merge it in (by marking as a duplicate).

Thanks.
