Stumped. X Causing problems (as usual)

Well, I got Arch running on my desktop with all the latest stuff (kernel 2.4.X and KDE installed) but when I launch any X environment, there's a big problem.

Both my mouse and my keyboard won't respond.  Even to CTL+ALT+F1 or CTL+ALT+DEL.

Nothing.  Nadda.  My system acts like its frozen but it isn't because KDE fully loads.....I just can't do anything once I'm in it.  The standard X environment has the same problem.

Now, my XFree config file was made using ATI's FireGL drivers (for my Radeon 9800 Pro).  Now, I've looked over the file about a hundred times and it's pretty standard stuff.

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"

etc., etc..

So any idea what the problem is here???  I'm completely stumped!  I can't figure any of it out!

Thanks everyone!

Re: Stumped. X Causing problems (as usual)

Ok!  Here are my WWs:

Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)
Fglrx: No Matching Device section for instance BusID PCK:1:0:1) found

And my EEs:

DRIScreenInit failed

None of these have anything to do with keyboards and mouse (I think) so any ideas?  I need to get this to run.  Thanks guys!

Can you post your InputDevice sections from your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file?  Are you using PS2, or USB?  Do you have a scrollwheel on the mouse?

Also, make sure you have your InputDevices present in ServerLayout.
