[SOLVED] [xorg-server] mouse, keyboard not working

i have a very sparse xorg config atm and after the last update  (1.5.3-2) it doesn't  know my keyboard or mouse, when logging into X (razercopperhead)

soo how do i boot my arch to a console soo i can disable the testing repo and get back to a working xorg?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

You can simply switch sessions. Use Ctrl+Alt+F1 (F1-F6 will work).

Re: [SOLVED] [xorg-server] mouse, keyboard not working

my xorg.conf for reference:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "k0"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "CoreKeyboard"
    Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "v0"
    Driver "fglrx"
    Option "VideoOverlay" "1"
    Option "OpenGLOverlay" "0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "m0"
    DisplaySize 338 270
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "s0"
    Device "v0"
    Monitor "m0"
    DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AIGLX" "0"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "0"
EndSection

also, can i just say the archlinux community is the kindest most welcoming people i've met in nix land.
Thank you all!

Re: [SOLVED] [xorg-server] mouse, keyboard not working

Damn, that wasted an hour of my precious weekend time
Starting a laptop into a dwm environment (no clickable icons etc.) without having any cached pkgs left and not beeing able to type anything was kind of a weird experience...
