Hello,

I have two hosts (x86_64) & (x86) running and after apt-get dist-upgrade this morning, I can no longer use my keyboard/mouse on either after a reboot on both machines?

Has anyone experienced anthing similar?

On the x86 host it is ps2(kbd)+usb(mouse).
On the x86_64 host it is usb(kbd)+usb(mouse).

Appears to be a known issue:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=364932

Well here is the fix:

Quote:

The evdev X driver can't work if the CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV option is disabled
in your kernel configuration. You'll have to either enable this kernel
option, or disable the "AutoAddDevices" option in xorg.conf.

# grep CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV .config
# CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV is not set

Trying now.


So this fixes the issue (w/ the kernel config option); to where I can use my keyboard and mouse. however, now there is an annoying lagging with the
mouse cursor, I will remove this and try the AutoAddDevices option in xorg.conf
to see if it fixes it.

I have been using the following mouse setting for many years:

xset m 20/5 1

It no longer works the same anymore either with the new X server (I am guessing this is the culprit) however I will try the AutoAddDevices and disable the kernel event interface to see if this returns the mouse acceleration back to normal.
