[solved] mouse and keyboard not working (and previous fix wont work)

i made a clean default setup with
arch
latest kernel - 2.6.29 i think
xorg 1.6.1
video-intel-legacy
on a 865G intel box + tried usb and ps2 keyboards + usb mouse
when i start X the mouse and keyboard dont work (and i have to hard reset the box) in all of the setups i tried. the AutoAddDevices fix suggested before does not work this time
- without xorg.conf
- with auto-generated xorg.conf (X -confogure)
- with the automatic conf +
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
- with tiny xorg.conf containing only
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
- with dbus/hal enabled and disabled in rc.conf
how i make it work

the setup that works to me now is
automatic xorg.conf with the AutAddDevices False (disable hotplug) lines
dbus and hal enabled in deamons
this lines instruct xorg to use xf86-input-mouse/keyboard instead of evdev. ie it looks like with evdev there is no point in xf86-input-mouse/keyboard

[SOLVED] Xorg and keyboard not working after upgrade.

Hi guys,
after a `# pacman -Syyu` I got Xorg not starting and keyboard not working: I am unable to do anything.
I'm posting here pacman's log that I got by booting an Ubuntu Live CD: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7517806
Any hint?
How do you recover a system once it's gone like this? Many thanks in advance.

I wouldn't necessarily call this [SOLVED]. At best I would probably mention that you found a workaround. The addition of '(downgrade)' likely makes it fine, but just FYI for future threads. There are two reasons for this. One, others who find this thread are likely to dig into it thinking there is a real solution, and two, if you mark it as [Solved] it might generate less attention, lessening the chances of you actually being helped to a real solution.
Just my 1.46¢
You're right, problem wasn't actually solved. In fact, yesterday I upgraded the whole system again and the same problem showed up, but I got it fixed.
Same scenario: after a boot (shorter than usual), what I had was a tty, but I noticed something that I hadn't noticed the last time: the prompt said "Arch Linux 3.11.[?]".
The kernel version was supposed to be 3.12.[?] so I started investigating and after several attempts, this is how I got the system working again:
1. Chrooted into the system
2. Wiped /boot
3. Re-installed grub
4. Re-installed linux kernel
5. Re-created grub.cfg
6. ???
7. Profit
I'm pretty sure that what originated the problem wasn't a "kernel issue" as I pointed out in my previous post, but it was an incorrect installation of grub: in fact, the grub prompt never showed up before yesterday, the system used to boot straight, ignoring the 5 seconds timeout.

The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

I have downloaded IOS7 on my 4s and everything worked fine. Now I downloaded IOS 7.0.2 and my notes, reminders, and contacts are gone. How do I get them back?

Hi kamcop68,
If you have a recent backup available (even pre-iOS7), you may want to try restoring your data from there. You may find the following article helpful:

My FaceTime isn't working properly. Every call I make a black dot appears on the camera in the middle (fixed onto the screen, and is not dirt), and the calls always fail. It would ring 6 times and then say call failed. How can I fix this?

If FaceTime ever worked properly for you, restarting your modem (and separate router/wireless if you have such) may help. If the problem continues, try connecting at a different location to see if the problem is within your wi-fi.
The black dot problem may mean you need to reset your iPod. If that does not help, it may need service by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Go through the steps here and see if anything works for you.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
You might have to bite the bullet and restore the device if nothing else works. If that doesn't bring it back to life, make an appointment at an Apple Store and let take a look at it.

Search the support website or contact the helpdesk of the equipment supplier. That would be the first place I'd try.

My password lock cannot be turned off (button is greyed out and does not react) and I cannot set to "simple" password (4 digits) for the same reason (button greyed out)

Today, I got a message from my iphone 4 telling me that my password was expired and that I had to change it.
Now I am forced to enter a 8 character long password and I cannot turn off the password lock (button is greyed out and does not react) and I cannot change to "simple" code.
I am so upset that I am considering throwing the bloody thing to the rubbish bin
Can you help?

Have a work Exchange account on your phone? These policies can be enforced by a profile installed on your phone. There is nothing you can do to change this except delete the Exchange account.

Wow, wonderful! I'm back on the OS X side of my computer and that's a good thing, THANK YOU!! My next question, if you can help, why did that happen the first place and what can I do to prevent it from happening again? I would be grateful for any insight you might offer.
I gave you the link to the Boot Camp documentation, read it carefully, mistakes in BC can have serious consequences.
If you have not yet backed up your Mac, DO IT NOW.

Ever since i plugged my iphone into the computer, all of my music has been messed up. The songs don't have the right album cover i guess they all just got mixed up somehow. i dont know but its annoying and im not sure how to fix it.

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Then
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

For the new iPhone 5s - is there not an option anymore to edit imessages without deleting the whole stream? There are some things I need to keep within a stream and some not necessary, and it looks as like no editing within a conversation?

Now I also know about pulling the message to the left to see the time stamp. Good to know, although I preferred it being right where I could see it without having to do a swipe or keystroke.
