Definitly, an update shouldn't break an existing working configuration! This
happens these days only too often with the Xorg + hal mess.
I happen to use linux as a working tool and 3 days without being able to launch
a working X is a source of problems! This is the second time. As for hal config,
the author should remember that ol'saying:KISS for Keep It Simple, Stupid.
Now, with or without /etc/X11/xorg.conf, my machine (amd64), updated to
libxcb-1.4, xorg-1.6 and hal last version launches X all right, only mouse and
keyboard are not working !
A line in /var/log/Xorg.0.log says:
(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse'
will be disabled.
Where is that b..... AllowEmptyOption ? certainly not in xorg.conf.
How do I get back some input on X screen ?
I also get (with xorg.conf)
(EE) Failed to load module "type1" (module doesn't exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module doesn't exist, 0)
Please help before I turn crazy (it might be too late)
