In Xorg.0.log i see:

(The at part makes sense, i only have USB on this machine)
So i guess this is the problem and that a rebuild of gnome/X11 did not
help. It seems fairly close to the issues with hald/xorg.conf that we saw
the last time upgrading gnome.
What is actually the right config nowdays?
I have the following in xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen 1" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
EndSection
Using the above, you shouldn't need the lines below. Your devices need
to be statically configured in xorg.conf. If you are using hald, then
remove both the AllowEmptyInput and AutoAddDevices lines above. I
When i commment theese out i get neither keyboard or mouse.
Also i notice in the xorg logfile that my "Keyboard1" gets ignored
alltogether. That is if i would have got the keyboard to work i would have a
us one instead of my swedish.
And in /etc/rc.conf:
bus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
If i comment these out then gdm dosn't even start since gdm requiers them i
guess.
With AllowEmptyInput and AutoAddDevices set to "off" and both dbus and
hald enabled it now works... Why?
Well i tried and xterm as usual and it didn't work. Decided to check if
another program accepted input to rule out an error in xterm. So i used
preferences/keyboard instead. I didn't expect it to work so i just pressed
a key and kept it down. Klick and then characters!
So in the end i managed to find out that slow keys somehow had become
enabled in universal access preferences....
Embarrasing...
But it is a bit strange that your suggestions did not work.
How come some people need the AllowEmptyInput and AutoAddDevices lines but
not others?
