[Bug 807306] Re: [oneiric] Keyboard & mouse not working in X

[Keith Harvey]

I didn't lose my mouse like most people, but I did lose my keyboard.  My
mouse freaked out, was flickering all over the screen and pressing both
mouse buttons (Laptop touchpad not mouse).  After finally resolving
that, then my keyboard was no longer working, but the touchpad was
working fine.

Then I tried the fix with mv udev, and that worked for me as well...

Don't know if it will help, but here is my history log of which upgrade
made my keyboard stop working....

Bug description:
  I've been running oneiric in a kvm guest for a while and updated it an
  hour or so ago; the keyboard and mouse are not working in lightdm at
  all - but if I log in remotely and chvt 1 the keyboard works in the
  console.

  The VM is a kvm guest running on a natty host; it was working fine
  prior to an apt-get upgrade in the guest.

  From duplicates, it affects upgrades to Oneiric on real hardware.

  WORKAROUND:
  unplug/re-plug keyboard and mouse.
  OR
  run the following command:
   $ mv /run/udev /run/udev.old
