Hi!

I had the same problem:

After doing a full upgrade from Jaunty keyboard and mouse were disabled under X. I could ssh to the machine and after shutting down gdm I got back to the terminal where the keyboard was working well.

After reading through the comments, I checked the Device entries in xorg.conf
It turned out that udev has some different naming scheme and the old device paths were invalid. So for example:

instead of:
 Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse"
I had to write
 Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-3-mouse"

and do the same for the keyboard as well.

After this change the system is back on track!

Greets,
