Same results with "keyboard" and "kbd", xdm gives me a login screen with a
fixed mouse, but no keyboard - even caps lock doesn't show a light.

startx also gives working mouse, no keyboard. Killing xinit does get a vt
back with working keyboard.

From Xorg.0.log:

(**) Option "CoreKeyboard"
(**) Keyboard0: always reports core events
(**) Option "Protocol" "wskbd"
(**) Keyboard0: Protocol: wskbd
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/wskbd"

(**) Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"

(**) Keyboard0: XkbModel: "pc105"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
(**) Keyboard0: XkbLayout: "gb"
(**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off"
(**) Keyboard0: CustomKeycodes disabled

(used to work)

and xdm.log

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:

Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
