Is it useable or not, outside of X?  Can you single-user boot and get the
keyboard working?  I am not clear if it's an X problem or a system

You said you updated your source tree yesterday.  If that was from a
recent build, then I don't know, but I'm very curious, just how old was
your previous build?  The config changed really radically maybe 2 months
ago, so maybe your config file is hosed?
