Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

After upgrading form Karmic To Lucid I had no mouse or keyboard in X,
outside X everything was fine. X reported:

"eviocgname failed inappropriate ioctl for device"

unfortunately this is from my google search, and not from the Xlog,
which I forgot to copy after I fixed it. The problem was a missing line
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf


Section "Module"
    Load           "evdev"
EndSection


after I added the evdev line everything worked fine
