19 What's in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

21 For me this problem is typical caused by 1 of 2 things:
22
23 1) I've upgraded the kernel (in you case maybe xorg) and I've
24 forgotten to rebuild mouse & keyboard
25
26 2) Something has changed WRT hal.
27
28 Either way it's always been resolved using modules-rebuild -X rebuiild
29 which rebuilds (for me) a list of 9 packages. You could test the
30 theory by rebuilding (at a minimum)
31
32 xorg-drivers
33 xf86-input-mouse
34 xf86-input-keyboard
35 xf86-input-evdev
36
37 Hope this helps,
