No Mouse or Keyboard After Installation

Every time I install Arch Linux I have no mouse or keyboard in run level 5. I can ssh into the machine and configure it that way but I have no idea what the problem is...

I have installed the proprietary nVidia Linux graphic drivers and rebooted the machine however nothing allows me to use the keyboard and mouse in GDM/Gnome. I tried to configure the machine to see if I boot in text mode only, if that allows me to use the keyboard however this makes no sense to me because the machine boots into graphical mode however when I look at /etc/inittab, it shows that run level 3 is the default

id:3:initdefault:

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong and or what I need to do in order to enable my Arch Linux machine to use the default Dell USB keyboard and mouse attached to the system...

Re: No Mouse or Keyboard After Installation

You could try adding this to your xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option      "AutoAddDevices"        "false"
EndSection

I just appended that to the bottom of my xorg.conf file...worked great!
