My keyboard stopped working after update xorg-server. Everything works fine while booting, but when GDM appear I can't type nothing, even switch to console How I can fix it?

Try installing xf86-input-evdev. Also see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=58533

Ok, while typing that answer, I was still having some problems with the configuration of my azerty-keyboard and evdev..
To solve it, I added some lines in my xorg.conf, in the InputDevice section.
It now looks like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd" #This is where my Acer 9500 keyboard resides..
Option "XkbModel" "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "be"
EndSection
Good luck

But how I can edit xorg.conf? GDM starts automatically and then I can't switch to console

Boot from an arch cd and remove GDM from rc.conf?
I haven't lost my mind; I have a tape back-up somewhere.

Or you can append "single" at the kernel line in GRUB (boot in single-user (root) mode)
Btw, I don't have an InputDevice-section anymore in my xorg.conf now since I read this nice blogpost about evdev.
