I had this problem a couple of weeks ago and the X log file hinted that the keyboard driver was not compatible with the version of xorg-server. At the time I thought that this was due to a lag in the PKGng server building the new drivers so I compiled and installed the x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard. The problem went away. This appears to be the same sort of issue. Perhaps the driver(s) are not getting rebuilt for the new version of xorg-server? Or perhaps this is related to packages on the 'with_new_xorg' PKGng server versus packages on the standard PKGng server?
