I'm in at work and turned off gdm in my rc.conf and rebooted.
The keyboard works fine! Then manually starting gdm and it
still works. That's great.
I think that something happened in the rc files that makes it
start earlier and that's conflicting with something that freezes
the keyboard.

I just finished a buildworld/buildkernel/mergemaster on my Dell Inspiron
9300. Upon rebooting, I noticed that gdm seemed to start earlier in the
boot process than it used to. When the login screen appeared, the mouse
seemed to work fine, but nothing I typed appeared. Attempting to use
C-A-F1 to switch to vty0 just beeped. C-A-Del worked to reboot the
laptop. I booted single user, commented out gdm_enable="YES" in
/etc/rc.conf, and rebooted -- everything was fine. I put the gdm_enable
back and ran /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh start -- gdm started, fully
functional.
I rebooted again -- gdm ignored the keyboard.
After several reboots, I've found that gdm seems to work fine as long as
I don't have 'gdm_enable="YES"' in /etc/rc.conf when the machine boots.
I've just finished upgrading gdm (using portmanager); still the same
problem.
If anyone has suggestions/wants me to try anything, just say so.
Thanks!
