I purchased a new larger hard drive to install ArchLinux.
Not wanting to erase the existing install from earlier this year.
I booted the 2008-03-1 boot disk and installed the basic install, rebooted.
Then ran pacman -Syy pacman -Su to install updates. I then proceeded to
install alsa which when fine.
Then I did a pacman -S libgl xorg mesa xf86-video-ati.
then Xorg -configure followed by X -config /root/xorg.conf.new.
X started and gave me the X cursor.
The keyboard and mouse are not responsive and I can not kill X with the
<Backspace> trick.
ALT+F1...F8 does nothing. I had to Press the "Microsoft Windows button" to
gain control of the system.
I know this is not a hardware problem as the previous Arch install runs fine
with KDEMOD.
Has any one experienced this?
Any one with some pointers/Help?

As the others indicated, X now uses hotplugging. So you're probably
failing because either you don't have the evdev driver loaded and/or you
don't have the hal service running. So add "evdev" to your modules list
in rc.conf, and "hal" to your daemons list.
