Public bug reported:
Installed the Kubuntu 8.10 beta yesterday and things worked fine. Made a
complete update in apdet and now the mouse and keyborad does not work.
This is an older laptop that has been working with kubuntu since 5.04 or
so.
The kde-4 kdm loginscreen shows up though mousecursor in the middle and
no keyboard response. alt-ctrl-1 workes fine.
In the /var/log/Xorg.0.log I have found the message that module evdev is
not found and it looks like this is needed for mouse and keyboard.
The computer does not hang.
After manually installing the package "xserver-xorg-input-evdev" and restarted
the kdm things started to work, however the touchpad does still not work.
The touchpad works fine after installing "xserver-xorg-input-synaptics".
It seems to me that some meta package lacks dependencies or that some
cleaning has been done that makes a bit older computers stop working.
