Well, it seems that the problem is not in the kernel input layer, then.
Anyway, if VT switching is working...we can discard a kernel input problem, I
think. Anyway it will be nice if you could switch kernels.

It seems right as well.
Although you could not find anything useful in Xorg.0.log, you should
send it
to us (preferably from a problematic session) and your xorg.conf, along with
the output of lsmod and dmesg.
