I had this same problem when I tried upgrading to Ximian Gnome beta 1 - having gdm start up on booting resulted in not being able to type anything in, but booting into a plain console, going root, and then running gdm resulted in it working fine. I'm afraid I couldn't figure out how to fix it, so I just downgraded to the last stable release and haven't had any trouble since :).
