I had the same problem. I don't know what caused it, but if you turn
off the XKB extension with
Option "XkbDisable"
in the ServerFlags section of your XF86Config file, you'll at least get
the keyboard working agin.
I was also getting some errors from xkbcomp invoked from the X server, and I
didn't have time to figure out how to fix it.

This is very disappointing. I shouldn't have to nuke the ports all back to
bare metal to make this work, sigh.
