I had a problem like that under Ubuntu 5.10
"Lost of keyboard, mouse and a BLANK screen"
And yes I could remote ssh into the machine from another just find.
The FIX turn out to be arrange to kill after startup the xscreen-saver
and later a complete reinstall the xscreensaver.
Seems one or more of the "required but only recommended" packages was
missing or incompatable.
At least that's what I remember.
One way to check if it's the "screen saver" crashing (and eating the
keyboard) is to set the time-out to different lengths and see if/how
that effects things.
