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.
