I had to reinstall ubuntu today after a hard drive failure.... Before I had a working xserver1.5 w/ mesa 7.1 and ati on rv535. Now, After following the steps again, I was able to get everything installed without any errors, but I don't have KB or mouse.

**I DID install the updated drivers from the crack pushers repo after the core update**

I don't see anything weird in my Xorg.0.log.
or in dmesg.

anyone care to help?

I'm running tormod xorg pushers repo too and noticed some of the packages had not automatically installed. I recommend you go open a web browser to the ppa directory and manually reinstall each package there to be sure no errors occur.

I also just got reminded about adding this into your xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
EndSection

Yeah, That's what it was.... found that out a little after posting this. Anyway, back up and running since last night.

Thank You all, now back to rebuilding....The "fun" stuff. I just had gotten my system the way I want it and "POOF".

You did have a disaster recovery plan, it just wasn't a very efficient one :D

And don't forget to follow the live CD test thread live CD test (http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10181) thread where I sometimes announce updates and known issues. Checking the PPA page (https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive) is also most recommended before doing any updates.
