Bug confirmed: After upgrading a working Hardy to Intrepid, keyboard and
mouse no longer work under X. The problem was easy to fix: replace
/etc/X11/xorg.conf by the pre-upgrade version. The cause is clear:
essential parts of xorg.conf were commented out:

"commented out by update-manager, HAL is now used".

Starting X gave the error message in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

"EE config/hal: couldn't initialise context: (null) ((null))"

also suggesting a hal problem.  (But hal is not needed, so with the old
config file all is ok.)
