How do I abort the startup of x?
If by "keyboard is not being properly recognized" you mean the keys produce the wrong characters, experiment at this point before pressing <ENTER> to figure out which keys you need to press to type in your root password; you'll be asked for it later.
This'll drop you into a single-user text mode, at which time you can prevent gdm from starting on future boot-ups (see recent mailing list archives) and/or fix your keyboard/mouse issues.
