 ttyE1 is likely the problem, check if you have a getty process running
 on ttyE1 (I suppose you have), I certainly do on most machines:
 
  375 ttyE1  Is+  0:00.08 /usr/libexec/getty ...
 
 That process will fight with the X server for keyboard input. The X server
 is supposed to run on ttyE4 by default (X gets a "vt5" arg), I'm not sure
 what went wrong in your case.
