 I just tried to switch to xdm and encountered the same problem. It seems
 to be caused by hitting more meta keys at once - Ctrl + Alt + Shift. The
 keyboard freezes completely - Nothing of the following works:
 
 Ctrl+Backspace
 Ctrl+Alt+Del
 Ctrl+Alt+Fx
 
 Sometimes it seems like Ctrl has stayed pressed and so the functionality
 of mouse is changed too.
 
 The only tthing I found on deja.com was a some similar problem under
 OpenBSD - kern/1115.
