What's in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

For me this problem is typical caused by 1 of 2 things:

1) I've upgraded the kernel (in you case maybe xorg) and I've
forgotten to rebuild mouse & keyboard

2) Something has changed WRT hal.

Either way it's always been resolved using modules-rebuild -X rebuiild
which rebuilds (for me) a list of 9 packages. You could test the
theory by rebuilding (at a minimum)

xorg-drivers
xf86-input-mouse
xf86-input-keyboard
xf86-input-evdev

Hope this helps,
Mark
