Need help: Lost keyboard after xorg upgrade

[Michael]

GREAT!!

I got it working. The system was lacking "xserver-xorg-input-kbd" and 
"xserver-xorg-input-mouse". I installed them and now, together with the 
"AutoAddDevices" "Off", I have a working mouse and keyboard under X.

If I understand it correctly, I am now not using the "evdev" driver. This 
does not seem to work correctly on this laptop (MSI Wind U100).

Now, can we fix the evdev driver or shall I stay with "AutoAddDevices" 
"Off"?

Thanks again for the help

Michael
