[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Sorry to bother you.

I noticed that my keyboard and mouse don't work in any display manager other than gdm on the current version of guix system.
I read the xorg logs, and noticed xorg-server didn't load any modules other than built-in modules:

[ 15.897] (**) ModulePath set to "/gnu/store/j96b54q010h9sq837226dq1j57iyxl1p-xorg-server-21.1.21/lib/xorg/modules/drivers,/gnu/store/j96b54q010h9sq837226dq1j57iyxl1p-xorg-server-21.1.21/lib/xorg/modules/input,/gnu/store/j96b54q010h9sq837226dq1j57iyxl1p-xorg-server-21.1.21/lib/xorg/modules/extensions,/gnu/store/j96b54q010h9sq837226dq1j57iyxl1p-xorg-server-21.1.21/lib/xorg/modules"

I tired edit system's config.scm, and also tired added extra-config to manually add the module paths for xorg-server, but this problem remains the same.

This is xorg-configuration in my config.scm:
(xorg-configuration
(modules (cons* xf86-input-evdev
xf86-input-libinput
%default-xorg-modules))
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))

One of my friends also encountered this problem after recent commit, and I also tired other people's configs, so i think this problem might not just a proboem with my config.
