I'm also seeing this error on my system, running kernel 2.6.20-rc3, self compiled. I've blown away and purged gdm and all it's config files and re-installed and it's still broken.
Should I try to blow away xserver-xorg as well maybe? I looked at bug 337862 as well, but I don't have any extra getty entrys for tty7 at all. Also, when I goto the XDMCP chooser (using the mouse) and then back to gdmgreeter, the keyboard now works. I've tried moving GDM back later in the startup sequence, since it looks like a race with udev or possibly hal when trying to open the keyboard device. I dunno, time to try and do an strace of the process on startup and see what it tries to do, maybe that would help pin-point the problem?
