You by any chance don't have dual-headed X configured? I had a similar problem and after removing my second ServerLayout section + RgbPath + 'AllowEmptyInput' in xorg.conf, everything seems to work again (even my dual display ???)
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "PANEL" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
EndSection
