Keyboard and mouse don't work in xorg

I've changed my xorg.conf, and after that, both my keyboard and mouse stopped working. Reverting the changes did nothing, nor using the default xorg.conf. My /var/log/Xorg.0.log has the following:

Config/udev: Adding input device ...
No input driver specified, ignoring this device

repeated with as the three dots every single input in /dev/input.
There is also at the end :

xf86CloseConsole: KDSETMMODE failed: input/output error
xf86CloseConsole: VT_GETMODE failed: input/output error
xf86CloseConsole: VT_GETSTATE failed: input/output error

It is the one xorg.conf generated by sudo X -configure

is cruft, the drivers don't exist > than a decade.

Really?
According to the xorg log: "really".

Get rid of the entire config, it's nonsense, probably created by nvidia-settings

Nevertheless

Unable to connect to X server

I doubt this has anything to do w/ your input devices, but you'll need a running X11 server for that to work.
If you want to execute it on a different VT,

export DISPLAY=:1

Edit:
Is there no /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?

Re: Keyboard and mouse don't work in xorg

Thanks a lot for the answer(s). Should I just delete xorg.conf ? Even with DISPLAY=:0 or DISPLAY=:1 it says "unable to connect to x server".
I should then try to reboot and pass the kernel parameter ?
There is a xorg.0.log: http://0x0.st/ohsA.txt
I think it was generated when I recreated the frog.conf but I might be wrong.
It runs for a very short time because I schedule a kill on the wm because otherwise I'm locked without a keyboard nor mouse so I can't exit.

Re: Keyboard and mouse don't work in xorg

yes delete the xorg.conf and reboot and pass the parameter (... and additionally setup early KMS as linked by adding the modules to your mkinitcpio.conf and regenerating the initramfs)

Re: Keyboard and mouse don't work in xorg

You aren't loading the nvidia driver now and in general your system is outdated if you updated/installed the nvidia drivers now you'd probably want to do a full system update and make sure you're booting the current 6.1.6 kernel.

Re: Keyboard and mouse don't work in xorg

I'm updating. But I already have the nvidia-dkms package installed, does X not try to use it ?

Re: Keyboard and mouse don't work in xorg

the xorg driver comes from nvidia-utils, if that doesn't properly load for any reason/because the kernel module is not loaded in the first place you'll have issues.

Re: Keyboard and mouse don't work in xorg

So what should I do to ensure it loads ? I have Nvidia-utils installed.

Re: Keyboard and mouse don't work in xorg

assuming you've updated and rebooted now, what do you get from

uname -a
pacman -Qs 'nvidia|linux'
sudo journalctl -b

Re: Keyboard and mouse don't work in xorg

Installing xf86-input-udev and using the Nvidia generated xorg.conf worked, thx for the help.
