After upgrade from lenny to wheezy keyboard and mouse don't work in X (keyboard available before it starts). I looked over internet about this issue and found some solutions:

  1. remove xorg.conf (http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=62880)
  2. update udev and base-files (http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=64927&p=376136#p376136)
  3. remove /run directory (http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=64927&p=376136#p376136)
  4. reintall xserver and xorg

But, nothing helped me :( Logs of X-server haven't got any messages about keyboard or mouse errors.

Below you can see configuration of my system:

  • You can run through the setup again and see if that helps. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg – egorgry Sep 02 '11 at 14:32
  • Which video driver (xserver-xorg-video-what) and input drivers (xserver-xorg-input-what) are you using? Also, if you can't type or move the mouse, how do you know that the video card isn't locked up? (can you see a clock ticking or something? ssh in and kill X?) – DerfK Sep 02 '11 at 14:35
  • 2 egorgry: I tried, but it didn't help me – Michael Sep 02 '11 at 15:08
  • 2 DerfK: I see mouse cursor animation and clock ticking. So, it is not problem of video driver – Michael Sep 02 '11 at 15:10

The problem was that X server don't use udev devices and subtle hinted me on it in log:

(II) The server relies on udev to provide the list of input devices.
If no devices become available, reconfigure udev or disable AutoAddDevices.

So, when I pay my attention on these lines and add

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection

to /etc/X11/xorg.conf problem was solved!

P.S. Thanks to Kubuntu Wiki for info about KDE intput system! :)
