Hi everyone :)

I cannot say for sure what my problem is really about, here are
the symptoms anyway:

  • after the latest reboot, X does not manage my keyboard and mouse
    anymore
  • there is no apparent error in the console when I immediatly kill X
  • I cannot access tty's anymore once X acquires the focus, so debugging
    is quite difficult
  • X.org.logs are left empty

This happened right after the latest kernel config change (which is
however completely unrelated to input drivers or evdev or anything but
enabling scsi cdrom support).
I actually suspect a recent udev update that had not experienced any
reboot yet (I also faced a couple of usual udev naming issues when
rebooting).

I did try:

  • falling back to a working backup kernel config (just in case)
  • rebuilding udev
  • rebuilding libudev dependencies (mostly xorg and xorg drivers)

I already tried search engines, browsing the forum, and nothing
sounded much useful to my case. I am all out of options, begging
for ideas.

Thanks,
Pierre.

Well, I figured out some details about my configuration would be more than welcome.

I am using the Intel driver, xorg-server 1.13.3 :

Code:
[I] x11-base/xorg-server
     Available versions: 
   (0/1.9.5)   1.9.5-r2
   (0/1.10.6)   1.10.6-r2
   (0/1.11.4)   1.11.4-r2
   (0/1.12.4)   1.12.4-r1
   (0/1.13.4)   1.13.4
   (0/1.14.1)   ~1.14.1
   (0/1.14.2)   ~1.14.2
   {{dmx doc ipv6 kdrive minimal nptl selinux static-libs +suid tslib +udev xnest xorg xvfb}}
     Installed versions:  1.13.4(0/1.13.4)(22:45:58 05/20/13)(ipv6 nptl suid udev xorg -dmx -doc -kdrive -minimal -selinux -static-libs -tslib -xnest -xvfb)
     Homepage:            http://xorg.freedesktop.org/
     Description:         X.Org X servers


My xorg-drivers is only built based on:

Code:
VIDEO_CARDS="intel"
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics"


And I am using the latest stable udev (204).

Code:

[I] sys-fs/udev
     Available versions:  204^t ~206^t **9999^t {{acl doc +firmware-loader gudev hwdb introspection keymap +kmod +openrc selinux static-libs}}

My bad. I must have slipped during the last --depclean, the actual sys-fs/udev package was removed while systemd wasn't compiled with openrc flag.
Problem is solved, I simply rebuilt systemd.
