Bug#524185: xserver-xorg - No keyboard/mouse after upgrade
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.4.2-11
Severity: grave
After the upgrade to xorg 1.4, the x server wants to use hal to detect
input devices regardless of the old config. This leads to unusable
systems because there is no way out of an x server which does not find
any keyboard. And the reasons for this seems to be not uncommon.
Nothing about that and the environmental requirements of this changes
are documented at the usual location (NEWS.Debian).
On my old notebook it just writes log messages that it wants to disable
all kdb and mouse device entries and starts without input devices.
