Keyboard and Mouse Dont't Function on X

Hello,
I have an Eee PC 904HD and then i'm reading the tutorial of the wiki to install Arch Linux on it. I've installed GDM on it, but when i execute it the mouse and the keyboard don't function. What i have to do?

Thanks,
Nathan Paulino Campos

I had this too.  I was told to rollback to xorg-server version 1.6.2-1 and xf86-input-evdev version 2.2.3-1 version (from 1.6.3-2 and 2.2.4-1) and everything works fine now.  If you don't have them in your cache, check out downgrading packages on the wiki.
