Hm, I have Dell Vostro 1400

[Comment 7 Vladimír Matěna 2009-06-27 11:55:23 UTC]

I can confirm 100% reproduciability.

1. reboot
2. start X
3. ((ctrl+alt+f1) + (alt+f7)) or hibernate

At this point keyboard is disabled (I can't even ctrl+alt+f1).
I have to alt+sysrq+r and alt+f1.

Now I can login root and restart xdm.
Restarted X is working correctly even hibernating and console switching until next reboot.

[Comment 8 Vladimír Matěna 2009-06-27 14:07:34 UTC]

key_bitmask check can be disabled:

- emerge xf86-input-evdev
- hit ctrl+z when source is unpacked
- edit /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.3/work/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.3/src/evdev.c (replace 2.1.3 by your evdev version)
- search for:

if (compare && memcmp(pEvdev->key_bitmask, key_bitmask, sizeof(key_bitmask))) {
   xf86Msg(X_ERROR, "%s: device key_bitmask has changed\n", pInfo->name);
   goto error;
}

and delete it
then continue emerge by "fg"

I have accidentally deleted some libs while playing with this issue.
I had to rebuild half of my system to get things working again.
After this rebuild everything(vt switch,hibernating) seems to be working fine.

I'm going to bet you guys are using non-default keyboard layouts. I have the same issue when I use hal to setup the keyboard layout (e.g. copy /usr/shared/doc/hal.../use-multiple-layouts.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/)
If no layout is set all is fine.
