I can confirm that. I'm not able to login in GDM.

I found something. Try to remove xf86-input-keyboard and mouse... It doesn't work for me, but maybe for You...

What version of xorg-server do you use?

Another thing: why does nobody ever attach xorg configuration and log files when reporting bugs about xorg?
Comment by Carlos Eduardo (cemsbr) - Sunday, 21 December 2008, 15:08 GMT
X.Org X Server 1.5.3
Release Date: 5 November 2008

I haven't change xorg.conf recently.
   xorg.conf (4.2 KiB)

oops, *changed :-)

I can confirm this problem too. Xorg is unusable with the new evdev update. Downgrade fixed the problem. It's a 64 bit system too.
   Xorg.0.log (23.9 KiB)
   xorg.conf (2.7 KiB)

Remove the allowEmptyInput option. When you set this option, Xorg will not remove the kbd and mouse drivers from the server. The 2.1.0 evdev driver doesn't grab devices, causing duplicate events.
