xf86-input-libinput-1.2.0-x86_64-1.txz, also kills the keyboard and mouse with the 5.15-rc2 kernel.
The problem can be created at will. Install xf86-input-libinput-1.2.0-x86_64-1.txz, enter X and there is no keyboard or mouse/trackpad. Once in X you can't get out since there is no keyboard, so it becomes necessary to use the re-set switch on the computer case. Once done and back at the prompt, reverting to an older version solves the problem.
Today after the upgrading, my system become very slow. Lightdm stop to work: it start, but after login reset the session.
I have tried to reinstall and clean the dirs /var/lib/lightdm and /etc/lightdm but nothing change. My console login is successfully but after type my login name it "freeze" for 3 seconds, same thing with sudo, the Xfce4 desktop start after 20 seconds.
Anyone has similar problems? On dmesg and log files nothing strange.
solution found: was winbind and compat/nsswitch misconfigured

My keyboard and mouse work fine
But I noticed a strange behavior after the suspend/resume:
My keyboard is very slow, and when I type, the keys are sometimes repeated several times.
no matter what kernel
Edit:
No issue with xf86-input-libinput-1.1.0-x86_64-1
after this full day of suspend

Nice to see freerdp added. I (unfortunately) have to work in Windows VMs quite a bit, so this is perfect.
When you look at what has been added over the years, Slackware 15 is shaping up to be a very different animal to 14.2.
6 updates. Including a (* Security fix *)! : 4 updated, 1 rebuilt, 1 added
Code:
Fri Sep 24 19:47:44 UTC 2021
l/fribidi-1.0.11-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
l/harfbuzz-3.0.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
n/bind-9.16.21-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Clean this up a little more... for consistency, make all three variables
set in /etc/default/named start with NAMED_. Likewise, make sure that all
uses of them in rc.bind start with NAMED_ (fixes a mismatch discovered by
Nobby6). For anyone wishing to run BIND as root, it seems to accept -u root
just fine, but if you really don't want a -u option, just set NAMED_OPTIONS
to " " to avoid triggering the fallback.
n/php-7.4.24-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes bugs and a security issue:
Zip: ZipArchive::extractTo extracts outside of destination.

Please note "Potentially-incompatible changes" from the release notes:
This release disables RSA signatures using the SHA-1 hash algorithm
by default. This change has been made as the SHA-1 hash algorithm is
cryptographically broken, and it is possible to create chosen-prefix
hash collisions for For most users, this change should be invisible and there is
no need to replace ssh-rsa keys. OpenSSH has supported RFC8332
RSA/SHA-256/512 signatures since release 7.2 and existing ssh-rsa keys
will automatically use the stronger algorithm where possible.
Incompatibility is more likely when connecting to older SSH
implementations that have not been upgraded or have not closely tracked
improvements in the SSH protocol. For these cases, it may be necessary
to selectively re-enable RSA/SHA1 to allow connection and/or user
authentication via the HostkeyAlgorithms and PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms
options. For example, the following stanza in ~/.ssh/config will enable
RSA/SHA1 for host and user authentication for a single destination host:
Host old-host
HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
We recommend enabling RSA/SHA1 only as a stopgap measure until legacy
implementations can be upgraded or reconfigured with another key type
(such as ECDSA or Ed25519).
