[SOLVED] startx: no keyboard/mouse after upgrade

Question

Hello,
After an upgrade during which X was upgraded to 1.16 the keyboard and mouse stopped working after using startx. When I start X with startx as root the keyboard and mouse work.
After the upgrade I made a .xinitrc like in the wiki article about xinitrc and I copied /etc/X/xinit/xserverrc to ~/.xserverrc
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hey,
Thanks for your answer.
I start X using startx and this .xinitrc in my home directory:
#!/bin/sh
#~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your windows manager from here
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
xrdb /merge ~/.Xresources
setxkbmap de
# Here awesome is kept as default
# no va: session=${1: -awesome}
case $session in
awesome) exec awesome;;
fluxbox) exec startfluxbox;;
# No known session, try to run it as command
# no va *) exec $1;;
*) exec awesome;;
esac
I created the .xinitrc after this wiki article
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinitrc
I tried it without the .xserverrc in the home directory and  it is the same. I read that in a forum. But probably it is not necessary because the behaviour is the same...
Before the upgrade,  I started X using xinit, but now using xinit I get the error :
(EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)
And I read on a forum that I should use startx.
I'm not running as root. I try to run X as a normal user. When I run it as root it works.
In the boot messages from systemd journal I see these messages:
systemd-logind[642]: Failed to connect to system bus: No such file or directory
systemd-logind[642]: Failed to fully start up daemon: No such file or directory
systemd-logind[675]Failed to connect to system bus: No such file or directory
systemd-logind[675]: Failed to fully start up daemon: No such file or directory
Sorry I don't really know what to look for in the logs...
I have a nvidia card and I use the proprietary drivers and Bumblebee.
