After catalyst 10.10 / xorg 1.9 update, mouse and keyboard don't work

Hi guys,

Yesterday I got the new catalyst update together with the new xorg server, but after rebooting and starting x, I neither could move the mouse nor press short cuts.

I have reinstalled xf86-input-evdev and xorg-input-drivers, but still same issue.

How to fix this?

Edit: Solution: remove [xorg18] repo from /etc/pacman.conf

Thanks

The update was from the [catalyst] repo, i thought it was tested? is it really a bug which everyone with [catalyst] repo is experiencing or does it happen just to us?

It's working fine here. Though I switched from the OSS ATI driver to it. Double checking, are you loading hal at startup (evdev needs it) and did you try recreating your config with aticonfig --initial?

i think i found the problem:
in my pacman.conf i had selected the xorg 1.8 repository, i deleted it, run pacman -Syu and it worked.

Thanks
