[SOLVED] Xorg: mouse/kbd input driver errors after reinstall to RAID

Hello Archers

I recently did a reinstallation to a full RAID system, and have encountered some problems with running xorg. The config file does not seem to be part of the problem, as it has worked flawlessly on my last 4-5 installations.

The problem:
After a failed start, the X-server shuts down and grumpily leaves me the following message:

(EE) Failed to load module "keyboard" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "mouse" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No Input driver matching `keyboard'
(EE) No Input driver matching `mouse'
No core keyboard

Fatal server error:
failed to initialize core devices

I haven't found anything about this kind of error in the man pages, in this forum or on x.org. Seeing as this problem arised after my installing RAID, I am compelled to believe that it must be a result of something being missing from a config file. Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that I installed OpenBox and PerlPanel without having previously installed Xorg, pulling it in as a dependency?

I hope someone out there can give me a nudge in the right direction; any help is greatly appreciated.

-Ariel

You need to manually add the packages:
1. xf86-input-keyboard
2. xf86-input-mouse
