Hey guys, I upgraded X yesterday and my touchscreen and touchpad stopped working. Most of my keyboard works, how I got here, but my arrow keys are dead and a few others are doing weird things. I have run emerge -uD xorg-server and revdep-rebuild. I tried running emerge world -uDNav or something like that it it printed an error out to high on the screen for me to read it, as I cant scroll up in konsole and i don't know how to maximise it with the keyboard. Anyway, I upgraded to xorg-server 1.4.0.90-r3 from xorg-server 1.3 something.

Heres my xorg.conf

Did you try to re emerge these, after xorg-server update?
Code:

emerge -va1 xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-keyboard

Also if you upgraded sys-apps/hall from an older than 0.5.10, take a look at here. Probably the same issue.

I tried re-emerging evdev and keyboard. Didn't help. I've gone on ahead and just emerged xorg-server 1.3. My mouse and keyboard are working again. It also emerged 3 other packages, but I didn't think to take note of which ones. Thanks for the help, but I don't have the time or knowledge to mess with it. Hopefully in a couple weeks I will have more time and can figure this out.

When you upgrade from xorg-server-1.3 to xorg-server-1.4 there is an ABI change that requires you to recompile the drivers that go along with it.

The list of drivers will vary depending on your hardware, but here is how I listed the drivers on my laptop.
Code:
# equery list x11-drivers/
[ Searching for all packages in 'x11-drivers' among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [ ~] x11-drivers/synaptics-0.14.6-r2 (0)
[I--] [ ~] x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-1.2.0 (0)
[I--] [ ~] x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.0 (0)
[I--] [ ~] x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.3.0 (0)
[I--] [ ~] x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.3.1-r1 (0)
