Not really a bug report.

But anyway, this is a hal/evdev problem,
more exactly you failed to configure things properly in hal.
(at least that what I think the problem is,
as you failed to provide any relevant data).

Umm, in my humble opinion a X configuration should never break between minor versions. If you disagree on that, please elaborate.

If you still need help after reading that article, attach your 'emerge --info' output, Xorg.0.log, and xorg.conf

[Comment 4 Rafał Mużyło 2008-12-25 15:00:51 UTC]

You forgot about output of 'hal-device' for your keyboard 
and your input fdi file.

What's more, parts of that article are no longer valid
for 1.5.3 - evdev now only grabs if requested and
disables mouse/kbd drivers if evdev is available and
AllowEmptyInput is true (on Linux it's default).
