The keyboard works fine when I dont start X, single user mode
or just at the console.  I can crash the machine whenever I switch
virtual consoles which is most not fun.  Not sure if its
strictly an X problem on not.

My previous -current was before the radical changes so I might
have something out of wack but not sure.  I think I got everything
in my kernel config file uptodate.

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
problem.

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?
