[SOLVED]No Keyboard/Mouse on Xorg

Hi,

After an update a few days ago, my network devices weren't working anymore, but running dhcpcd could fix that. Today i updated again and used pacdiff to merge some new configs (i can't remember which one - great i know) and now there is no reaction of my input devices when xorg is started. As long as i boot into init3 everything is ok. Some ideas what i could have messed up?

Thanks
VR

EDIT: I just realised that HAL fails to start

EDIT2: Ok seems that i've accidentially deleted hal from /etc/groups. Input works again but network is as dead as before...weird.

Re: [SOLVED]No Keyboard/Mouse on Xorg

EDIT: oops - never mind - forgot to add the hal group to new /etc/groups file. Still Solved!:rolleyes:

Similar problem here - after merging old /etc/groups file into new groups config file, my mouse and keyboard become dead. I use qingy in runlevel 3 to login and that works. Booting into my fallback (and not yet updated) Arch system, I reactivated the old /etc/groups config (which I had saved ) and the mouse and keyboard work again.

Can anyone save me from a line-by-line examination of the new /etc/groups file? What is the problem here? Without a working keyboard or mouse it is difficult to diagnose this on a running system.
