Earlier today I ran pacman -Syu for the first time since the 18th, and initially everything seemed to be working properly. However, upon my next boot, both my mouse and keyboard (both USB) no longer worked, leaving me stuck at the login screen unable to move the cursor or switch to a different terminal. Unplugging and reconnecting my keyboard and mouse did nothing.
A related topic (which could be solved by reconnecting the devices) suggested that booting with runlevel 1 might help, and this allowed me to use the terminal, but any attempt to start X resulted in getting stuck at login in the same way.
Disabling and re-enabling hotplugging via xorg.conf had no impact (there was a note in Xorg.0.log indicating that since hotplugging was enabled, mouse and keyboard drivers were being disabled. Apparently it's a fairly standard warning).
The only package that was updated that seemed to be input related was xf86-xinput, but downgrading to the previous version did not fix the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might have caused this issue?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
