20 Hi, just for the records: I found the reason and the solution.
21 The 1.4.0.99 server uses hal to detect input devices etc. To configure
22 that properly one needs policy files inside /etc/hal/fdi/policy
23 Google for "hal xorg gentoo input" or "hal xorg evdev" to read more
24 about this.
25 Also if your keyboard stops working, your layout changed to US, Xorg
26 crashes on plugging in USB Keyboards, etc. you should look after this.
27 Furthermore it can't be bad to have up to date input drivers, currently
28 this means in particular evdev-1.2.0
