No Mouse/Keyboard since update and restart on evening of 4th August.

[criticalmess]

My mouse and keyboard don't work anymore in Gnome.
The only thing i can do is switching through ALT+STRG+F1-9.

Complete loss of control!

The only thing i can do is boot up in recovery console.

fixed with newest xserver-xorg-input-evdev

This isn't completely fixed. While the mouse and keys are generally working, the latest package now breaks the middle arrow pad and insert, home, page up, delete, end, and page down keys. The num-pad representation of these keys still function.

I tried resetting the my keyboard layout from the gnome control center from Dell/Dell to the default (evdev-managed keyboard) but that made no difference.

I noticed that the left arrow is now acting as the compose key (and not right-alt as i have configured in the layout options). All of my other layout options are default (unchecked).

I withdrawal that complaint. Everything was working again after installing next batch of updates (included xserver-xorg-core) and restarting (everything, not just gdm as I had after the previous batch).

Just upgraded to Ibex, and I'm seeing problems that strongly correlate to this bug. To xev(1) and xterm(1), all keys work as expected (I'll call this "normal"), to xkeycaps(1), I see extremely different info, which seems to reflect the same weirdness seen in xmodmap(1) -pk, (I'll call this one "weird"). The symptoms are as described elsewhere - Home, Del, Backspace Insert, Left, Right, Up, Down, right-Alt, right-Control, PageUp, and PageDown all generate completely strange things in some contexts

In the "normal" circumstance, I see, from
Ins Left Right Del End AltR CtlR PgUp PgDn Up Down, keycodes of
118 113 114 119 115 108 105 112 117 111 116,
with the expected keysyms

In the "weird" circumstance, I see, from
Ins Left Right Del End AltR CtlR PgUp PgDn Up Down, keycodes of
106 100 102 107 103 113 109 99 105 98 104 ,
with keysyms of,
KPdiv Henkan-mode Muhenkan Pr/SyReq NoSymbol Left Linefeed Hiragana rControl Katakan KP-enter

Both can been seen in the same session, simultaneously, no intervening commands, just my moving the mouse pointer to the mentioned apps (or running "xmodmap -pk", in that instance.

This just screams of some kind of modal japanese keyboard definition.

Here's the "xmodmap -pk" output:

There are 6 KeySyms per KeyCode; KeyCodes range from 8 to 255.

Additionally, the window managers I've tried tend to get the "weird" ones, which leads to all kinds of weirdness when you try to use keys intercepted by the window manager for various things.
