RaspberryPi mouse and keyboard do not work after startx

Setting up my recently received RaspberryPi and everything seems fine, I can get the Pi working.  However, when I try to startx, my mouse and my keyboard doesn't response at all.  At first, I thought it might be the power drained is maxed out, but after several searches, looks like it is because my firmware is not updated.  However, updating Pi firmware is a pretty tedious task itself.  Let me documented my experience here and hopefully someone might be benefited from this post.

You need to download the rpi-update script

• wget https://raw.github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update/master/rpi-update

Move the script to /usr/bin/rpi-update and run chmod +x /usr/bin/rpi-update

You need to do a update, since I'm using the Debian version, just run sudo apt-get update

Now you need to install ca-certificate

• sudo apt-get install ca-certificates

Install git-core

• sudo apt-get install git-core

Last, update your Pi firmware

• sudo rpi-update

Reboot your Pi, and login.  Now try startx and your mouse and keyboard should response again, enjoy your Pi!
