Going back the original posting in this thread, I think I've had
something similar happen to me.
In my case the problem was a *conflict* between getty and X.
Specifically, I was running xdm from rc.local and it wound up
using a vty that init would later try to start a getty on.
When init started the getty, BANG! The getty steals the keyboard
and X would freeze up.
My solution was to leave ttyv0 and ttyv1 turned off in /etc/ttys.
I later found a second solution which also worked quite well, and
that is to start xdm *FROM* init, via an /etc/ttys entry:
ttyv0 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon cons25 on secure
These two solutions solved my keyboard lockup problems.
