I have the same experience with my T-43, but only when there is a
/etc/X11/xorg.conf present.  If I just start X without configuration,
everything's fine and dandy.  With configuration, ANY configuration (I had
to build some to work with external monitor, with presentation projector,
that sort of thing), I get exactly the symptoms you describe.

It's been like that since I got the machine in the beginning of August.
It's been running moderately recent -current (never older than a month or
so).  I did not got around reporting this.

So, just for the sake of it: move /etc/X11/xorg.conf out of the way, sync
and wait, do your reboot magic, then see whether it works.
