no input with kernel 2.6.8-rc3-mm1 and X
With kernel 2.6.8-rc3-mm1 I lose input completely the moment I start X. Keyboard is completely non-functional (include sysrq and num/ctrl lock) and the touchpad also doesn't seem to produce anything.
The computer is otherwise functional and I can ssh in from another machine and chvt to the console where I get the keyboard back. chvt back to X kills input again.
Input is completely function in the console and with kernel 2.6.8-rc2 also with X, so I don't think its an X configuration problem.

What interface is the keyboard using? PS/2? USB?
Does the mouse work? What interface is the mouse using?
If you can, try reverting bk-input.patch and see if that fixes it up. Or bk-usb if you're using a USB keyboard.

Its laptop built-in keyboard so I am not completely sure , but I believe it is a ps/2.

The mouse is dead also. It is an alps touchpad using ps/2 interface using the synaptics driver (along with the patch to support alps, but also tried without it and didn't change behaviour). Didn't try an external mouse (I don't use one regularly).

I backed out bk-input.patch and now things function properly, Thanks.

Before looking elsewhere, go into your BIOS setup and see if USB mouse/keyboard legacy support is enabled. If it is, disable it.
That was often the cure for such problems for me.
