I appreciate your response.
Note that my problem is much earlier than X. I cannot switch to the console, 
because booting stops before my discs are mounted. During bootup I need to 
give a password on the console so the kernel and decrypt my hard drive 
partitions. Usually my 2.6.26 kernel says:
Feb  1 21:04:22 eione kernel: [   10.177451] input: Apple Computer Apple 
Intern
al Keyboard/Trackpad as /class/input/input4
Feb  1 21:04:22 eione kernel: [   10.204833] input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 
Keybo
ard [Apple Computer Apple Internal Keyboard/Trackpad] on usb-0001:10:1a.0-2

but I think the bpo.1 and bpo.2 kernels only listed the uid device number 
there.
