Details

Hello! After a recent upgrade, the package mentioned in subject
were installed. Later when I restarted (e.g. telinit 3; telinit 5),
I could not login because all the keypresses got input three times
at least (e.g. I wanted to write "jasan" and got "jjjaaassssaaannn").

After logging on terminal and reinstalling the package with older
version (2.0.7 in my case) using 'pacman -U', everything works fine.

BROKEN: xf86-input-evdev-2.1.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
WORKING: xf86-input-evdev-2.0.7-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

In case my xorg.conf might be strange, here it is:

Oh, but do not work on it during this peaceful Christmas time please!
I just wanted to report it so it does not get forgotten.
Best wishes, Jasan
