no keyboard or mouse or touchpad with HP Pavilion DV4-1220US

Got gnome installed on this HP Pavilion DV4-1220US.  I can load up X and see the desktop but there is no keyboard/touchpad or even USB mouse when I plug it in.  I'm using the KMS module of the onboard ATI RS780M/RS780MN which is working by the way and am not using a /etc/X11/xorg.conf at all.  I have no idea how to get the keyboard/mouse/touchpad working.

Thoughts are appreciated.

Is HAL running?
Did you install xf86-input-evdev ?

Okay, thats weird.  You have three times the number of posts as do I so let me set my aim a little higher. 
I know you have been through your logs. 
Any clues from Xorg or dmesg?
Could it be a dbus permissions problem?

What is in /dev/input/by-path, and where do those links point?

On my system (HP DV4 1227us):

ll /dev/input/by-path 
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jun 15 12:13 pci-0000:00:1d.7-usb-0:5:1.0-event -> ../event12

I gave up on it.  Laptop is a POS anyway.
