I updated Xorg and it seems I can't use any of my input devices. I'm using a usb keyboard and usb mouse. When I type startx, none of the keys on my keyboard works and I can't move my mouse. This is what I have for my xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
Option "Autorepeat" "500 30"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "microsoftelite"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen1"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keybouard1" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Admittedly, I could've picked a better XkbModel, but I doubt that's what's causing the problem since it seems a lot of people are having a similar problem. I would rollback to the older version, but I deleted it from the cache. I've disabling AutoAddDevices in the server flags, but that didn't do anything.

I get the same exact problem!

Have you tried installing xf86-input-evdev and using evdev as the driver for the input?

I have xf86-input-evdev installed. How do I know if I'm using it as a driver? I tried changing the driver parameter in both InputDevice sections to
driver "evdev"
and it still didn't work. It also appears to be loaded:
# lsmod | grep evdev
evdev 13984 0
Still doesn't work.

You have to remove your InputDevice sections

Thanks, but sometime before my last post and your post it started working. Not exactly sure how, but this is the process I went in.
# /etc/rc.d/hal
# startx
# /etc/rc.d/hal stop
# /etc/rc.d/dbus stop
When I issued startx that time it worked, so I tried disabling hotplugging, used this as my xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
Option "Autorepeat" "500 30"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "microsoftelite"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen1"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keybouard1" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection
I issued startx again, and every worked. The only difference is the AutoAddDevices thing, which is odd because I tried that before... Oh well, works now.
