If you had sent your config and log as expected, I could probably have
told you that you need a ServerLayout section (like below). The behavior
of Xserver changed, we are working on it with upstream.

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "Default Layout"
        Screen          "Default Screen"
        InputDevice     "Generic Keyboard"
        InputDevice     "Configured Mouse"
EndSection
