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?
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Sunday, 21 December 2008, 11:19 GMT
Another thing: why does nobody ever attach xorg configuration and log files when reporting bugs about xorg?

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.
