Interesting.  I guess this could be another alternative to the creeping 
"systemd is everywhere" thing.

FWIW, every time I've had the keyboard disappear in X, it's been 
because X's hardware auto-detect logic has broken something or gotten 
confused.  Telling X to not auto-detect keyboards and mice and just use 
a couple of old-school Keyboard and Mouse devices in your xorg.conf has 
made the keyboard just work for me.  (Note that this may be a 
Gentoo-specific problem and solution.  Also note that apparently lots of 
distros now just rely on X auto-configuring everything and don't bother 
generating an xorg.conf.)
