I upgraded my git/master Xorg installation on a HP Pavillion 5000 laptop. Several critical issues have come up (see, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42690), and I was told to file them separately. When X start my keyboard and mouse aren't recognized. Both are handled by evdev. When I unplug and plug in the mouse it is recognized. Unfortunately I can't do that with the keyboard (it's on a laptop :)). I also have a mousepad, which used to work using the synaptics driver; it no longer works either. I'll upload copies of my xorg.log and xorg.conf files in a few hours.

BTW, if you want me to triangulate, let me know. I'll need you to tell me in what component (e.g., xserver, xf86-input-evdev, etc.) and how to go about doing it (I'm not good at git).
There was an evdev bug that I just fixed. Maybe that may have been it, just pull evdev from git master and rebuild it.
I'm not physically able to access the machine in question, but I rebuilt/installed evdev and started X from a remote host. grepping Xorg.0.log for evdev shows nothing related to the keyboard or mouse. Just: [163709.023] (II) LoadModule: "evdev" [163709.030] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so [163709.031] (II) Module evdev: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [163709.031] compiled for 1.11.0, module version = 2.6.99 [163709.031] Module class: X.Org XInput Driver [163709.031] ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 14.0 [163709.031] (II) LoadModule: "synaptics" [163709.032] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so [163709.059] (II) Module synaptics: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [163709.059] compiled for 1.11.0, module version = 1.5.99 [163709.059] Module class: X.Org XInput Driver [163709.059] ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 14.0 I'd bet that they still fried.
full log please
Created attachment 53388 [details] Xorg.0.log after upgrading evdev As requested, I've uploaded a full log after upgrading evdev. Note that I was not able to activate the mouse by unplugging and plugging the mouse.
I flamed all of xorg (libs, drivers, server etc) and rebuilt everything from scratch from the git/master. The problem has gone away. I suspect one of the libs was the culpret as I don't update them as often as I do the server and drivers. I'll close this.
