If you tried compiling nvidia_driver while X was running, that won't
work. The current nvidia_driver will fail to compile if X is running, so
exit out of X (including any login manager) and then compile
nvidia_driver. You will need to remove the nvidia module afterwards and
reload it.

For some reason it's looking for event2, rather than event0 (the first).
 Did you look to see if /dev/input/event* exist? You should check your
kernel to make sure you still have Event Interfaces enabled.
