[gentoo-user] xorg-server update: Keyboard and mouse dead

Hi,

This morning I updated xorg-server.
I reemerged nvidia-drivers and mouse and keyboard drievers as
suggested by einfo.
I started X and keyboard and mouse were dead - but sysrq-key works and
keyboard and mouse works on the console, so the problem is X not the
hardware.
I removed x86-input-evdev driver as suggested if keyboard is dead,
but this does not help.

My xorg.conf for the relevant sections is as follows:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier	"Mouse1"
    Driver	"mouse"
#   Option "Protocol"      "NetMousePS/2"
    Option "Protocol"      "IMPS/2"
#    Option "Device"        "/dev/input/mouse0"
    Option "Device"        "/dev/input/mice
    Option "Buttons"       "5"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5" 


# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.

#    Option "Protocol"	"Xqueue"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.

#    Option "BaudRate"	 "9600"
#    Option "SampleRate" "150"

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

#    Option "Emulate3Buttons"
#    Option "Emulate3Timeout"    "50"

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

    Option "ChordMiddle"

EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

    Identifier	"Keyboard1"
    Driver	"kbd"
# For most OSs the protocol can be omitted (it defaults to "Standard").
# When using XQUEUE (only for SVR3 and SVR4, but not Solaris),
# uncomment the following line.

#    Option     "Protocol"      "Xqueue"

    Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
#  Option	"Xleds"      "1 2 3"

   Option "LeftAlt"     "Meta"
   Option "RightAlt"    "ModeShift"
   Option "ScrollLock"  "Compose"
   Option "RightCtl"    "Control"


   Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:win_switch,ctrl:nocaps,compose:rwin"

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
#    Option "XkbModel"    "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#    Option "XkbModel"    "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#    Option "XkbLayout"   "de"
# or:
#    Option "XkbLayout"   "de"
#    Option "XkbVariant"  "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#    Option "XkbOptions"  "ctrl:swapcaps"

# These are the default XKB settings for XFree86

#    Option "XkbModel"    "pc101"
#    Option "XkbLayout"   "us"
#    Option "XkbVariant"  ""
#    Option "XkbOptions"  ""

#    Option "XkbDisable"


    Option "XkbModel"	"pc102"
    Option "XkbLayout"	"de"
    Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"


EndSection


# **********************************************************************
# ServerLayout sections.
# **********************************************************************

# Any number of ServerLayout sections may be present.  Each describes
# the way multiple screens are organised.  A specific ServerLayout
# section may be specified from the X server command line with the
# "-layout" option.  In the absence of this, the first section is used.
# When now ServerLayout section is present, the first Screen section
# is used alone.

Section "ServerLayout"

# After 20 minutes of idle time: Shutdown
    Option "OffTime" "20"


# The Identifier line must be present
    Identifier  "Simple Layout"

# Each Screen line specifies a Screen section name, and optionally
# the relative position of other screens.  The four names after
# primary screen name are the screens to the top, bottom, left and right
# of the primary screen.  In this example, screen 2 is located to the
# right of screen 1.

    Screen "Screen 1"

# Each InputDevice line specifies an InputDevice section name and
# optionally some options to specify the way the device is to be
# used.  Those options include "CorePointer", "CoreKeyboard" and
# "SendCoreEvents".

    InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"

EndSection


Since the box is dead after starting X (I only can reboot
with sysrq keys) I see no way of retrieving a logfile
for the xorg-server.

How can I get back a functional X?

Thank you very much in advance!

Kind regards,
Meino Cramer
