Hang on, I'm smelling something here.

You said you've been editing /etc/ttys, enabling everything you could find.

In that case, you probably enabled both /dev/console and /dev/ttyE0. They are
mutally exclusive. I suggest you disable one - disabling /dev/console is
probably the best choice if you're using virtual terminals, as you'll end up
running into problems with /dev/console once you enable xdm anyway.

Err, what mystery keyboard do you have that it has both a 'return' and
an 'enter' key, that even behave differently?

Now might be a good time to learn it.

Are networks sentient beings these days? Fancy.

You don't understand it. The fact that you don't seem to care about your
own security or safety makes your computer a prime target for *a lot* of
people, because it makes your computer the ideal stepping stone for their
real intended purpose - be it spamming, be it cracking an *interesting* site
while putting the blame on you: You name it.

Ah well, it's your decision, in the end.
