I didn't lose my mouse like most people, but I did lose my keyboard. My mouse freaked out, was flickering all over the screen and pressing both mouse buttons (Laptop touchpad not mouse). After finally resolving that, then my keyboard was no longer working, but the touchpad was working fine.

Then I tried the fix with mv udev, and that worked for me as well...

Don't know if it will help, but here is my history log of which upgrade made my keyboard stop working....
