Hello Tore, I see the same problem on my mac mini using a self compiled X using usb keyboard and usb mouse. My solution so far for it is pulling the usb keyboard out and putting it after a second or so back in. After that my usb keyboard starts working again. I know that my pointer works to, but I didn't check the buttons. If you find anything further usefull please let me know. Next time it hangs, I try if magic sysrq works for me, too.
(Nice trick with unrar and giving the kernel back the vt switching). Btw. when I do this on a working Xserver I simply can switch back to vt 5 (this is where my Xserver runs) and it seems to switch keyboard back to raw modus.
