I'm not technically sophisticated but hope this helps.
I had exactly the same keyboard problem as the OP running Debian testing
(2.6.26-1-686) on an Acer Aspire 3503 laptop: the keyboard became
unuseable in X but functioned normally in TTY1 etc.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log showed no errors.
I resolved it by removing xkb-data 1.5-2, which the system then
automatically "replaced" by installing xkb-data-legacy. The keyboard now
functions normally.
