Keyboard is dead, totally unresponsive under x

Hello:

I recently installed Sarge. X starts, the two mice I have can click
and start up a wide variety of programs. Typing at the keyboard does
NOTHING, to no program, ever. The keyboard works, because I boot into
the console and then type "startx". I created a new account to make
sure this wasn't a messed up .xinit. After x shuts down, I might see
the last 6 characters (not more than that).

I have no clue what to do next, so I'll just append some stuff. The
problem with the keyboard makes my box useless. ARG!!!

The xfree86 logs are too long (and DULL) to post, so I have shortened
them by hand. No complaints about the keyboard:

The two complaints about things missing from libGLcore.a, and
rendering of some fonts, which I think has to do with aliasing.
Here is a partial listing of the log file.
