I tried:
- deleting my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- backing out the most recent changes to
  xf86-input-keyboard/dist/src/{bsd_,}kbd.c followed by
  sh build.sh -E build with MKUPDATE=yes
Neither changed anything.

Following John Baker's post - sure enough killing the X server makes
virtual terminals work again.

My laptop uses the intel i810 driver, and
[   200.942] (--) Using wscons driver on /dev/ttyE7 in pcvt compatibility mode 
(version 3.32)

I'm not sure what you look for in Xorg.0.log for this, as X does work once.

Cheers,
