There's a mouse pointer, but it doesn't move, and the keyboard is ignored.  All I can do is force a reboot with either the reset button or the Magic SysRq Key.  (No, that doesn't get me back the mouse/keyboard.)  Looking through /var/log/Xorg.0.log by ssh from my laptop, I find this:

Do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf or a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ which specifically defines the drivers in an InputDevice section?   If so, try removing those.
