 Hello,
 
 For what it's worth, I seem to be having similar problems on FreeBSD
 7.1-RELEASE-p2.  In my case; however, I can use the mouse (a generic
 PS/2 style wheel mouse) but the keyboard beeps and sends random
 characters (mostly "d"'s...lots of them).
 
 I _am_ able to hit CTRL-ALT-F1 to escape out of the X Server and kill
 it.  The keyboard works fine in console mode, and no O/S level panicks
 or crashes so far.
 
 I'm kind-of bummed that X is broken since this is my primary
 workstation.  I guess I'll be using my laptop running Windows XP until
 this is sorted out.  Thankfully the TightVNC server works fine, so I can
 access my X desktop via the TightVNC client on my notebook and still get
 work done.
 
 Good luck to the guys/gals who are (hopefully) busy fixing this.
