<bryceh> slangasek, ls -l /dev/input ?
<slangasek> bryceh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/738776/
<Sarvatt> so was udev updated recently? keyboard/mouse not working bugs have almost always been following a udev update (4-5 times in oneiric..)
<bryceh> slangasek, interesting!  and ls -l /dev/input/by-id/ ?
<slangasek> http://paste.ubuntu.com/738777/
<bryceh> aha
<bryceh> slangasek, yeah so that's showing events 12 and 13 mapped to your input devices
<slangasek> hmm
<bryceh> udev sounds a likely culprit
<slangasek> aha
<slangasek> udev ISN'T RUNNING
<bryceh> slangasek, ahhhh
<slangasek> score
<bryceh> :-)
<slangasek> bryceh: thanks for looking at this :)
<slangasek> now let me see if I can figure out why it's died, since apport said nothing
<bryceh> slangasek, sure thing, glad it got sorted
<slangasek> Setting up udev (175-0ubuntu1) ...
<slangasek> Installing new version of config file /etc/init/udev.conf ...
<slangasek> restart: Job failed to restart

I wonder if X ought to print some sort of more useful error message if
udev is not running, but the real issue here is udev not running.

** Package changed: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) => udev (Ubuntu)

Title:
  X fails to correctly find my USB input devices

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  For some reason, when I plug my USB kvm into my laptop today, X fails
  to register the attached input devices (keyboard and mouse).  The
  devices are correctly registered in the kernel, but X somehow gets the
  wrong device name for them: it's looking for non-existent event13 and
  event14, when the correct devices are event9 and event10.

  I'll attach the Xorg log separately, since this is all happening on :1
  instead of :0 (due to an unrelated bug).
