[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#558691: Also on upgrade

[Vasilis Vasaitis]

  Hi,

  I just ran into this after upgrading a sid system. The X server was
not upgraded, but hal and udev were, and when I restarted the X server
(I needed to restart kdm) the keyboard and the mouse stopped working.
It did appear to be a hal problem, so I disabled AutoAddDevices in
xorg.conf, which eliminated the problem temporarily. And then I found
this bug report and rebooted, which got rid of it permanently.

  I have before/after lshal output dumps that I can provide if you
think they're useful.

  Also, the problem might be further down the stack indeed, as when I
was rebooting I saw messages like "failed - is udev active?" (when
laptop mode was stopping).

Thanks,
Vasilis
