Just a thought - check to make sure that the 
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard port on the PKGng server you are using  
was actually rebuilt for the new version of  xorg-server.  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?
