[PROBLEM SOLVED] After last update, Can't use keyboard in Xorg

Apparently the last system upgrade installed "xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2-1-i686" but I reverted back to "xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.1-1-i686" and everything is working again.

Lesson learned: put all xorg related packages to hold because my geforce2 mx440 won't need updates.

This is just frustrating. After doing a system upgrade (which upgraded xorg to version 1.5) I can't use the keyboard anymore. In fact, my screen would freeze also, as long as I was using the latest Xorg version. This machine's card is a geforce2 mx440.

So I downgraded xorg-server with pacman -Rd xorg-server and pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-yadayada1.4yadayada; Fine, I can use the mouse and open X just as normal as before. BUT the keyboard seems helpless.

Perhaps you can find some help here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … otplugging (or in one of the many threads about xorg 1.5 breaking input devices)

No Idea about your problem after downgrading (expect just as a guess, there is some problem with xbinkeys when it is autostarted with the window manager -- http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65468).
