Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I've been running unstable on my machine for some time. Recently I saw this
issue in the sid distribution of xserver-xorg-core and wasn't near the
internet, so downgraded to the previously installed version and vowed to file a
bugreport. Unfortunately I forgot and the issue has found it's way into
testing.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Up until recently, running the version from testing worked, however the
unstable version has been merged, and I've had to install the version from
stable on my sid machine (which strikes me as dangersous)
   * What was the outcome of this action?
When I start x11 with xinit, I do not get any kind of response from keyboard or
mouse. I cannot kill x11, however the keyboard and mouse are still seen as
pommed detects them, as does the linux console.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Usual ability to use the mouse inside x11

Try getting rid of the Protocol line?

See #653156 which might be similar.

I have tried without an xorg.conf and with the config generated by Xorg
-configure, same result the keyboard and mouse are unresponsive.

I will take a look at that bug.
