Description:
After upgrade to 1.17.4-2 on a ThinkPad T440s the keyboard freezes. Not only the built-in keyboard doesn't work anymore, even USB-connected keyboards freeze.

As soon as an X-org session is started (in my case sddm), the keyboard literally freezes (confirmed by NumLock-LED). Downgrading xorg-server to 1.17.4-1 and keeping all other packages to the most recent on Nov 7th (15:00 GMT+1) fixes the issue.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
-) Upgrade to 1.17.4-2
-) Reboot
-) No login through sddm possible, because there is no keyboard working (only mouse/touchpad works, trackpoint doesn't)
-) Boot Live-CD to disable sddm.service
-) Reboot
-) Keyboard works until you start sddm.service
-) Downgrade xorg-server to 1.17.4-1
-) Everything works fine again
This task depends upon

So you did a partial update, updated xorg-server without updating the rest of your system?

Edit: or not, the problem is that you have some random package that supposidly "provides" xf86-input-evdev, but doesn't really.
