It seems your keyboard setup got screwed up. To make sure, try this: In
konsole, become root and run

chvt 1

If this takes you to tty1 without problems then we know that nothing is
wrong with the mode switching of the video driver. Go back to X with
ALT-F7, run "setxkbmap -print" and post the output here. (If there is in
fact a problem with the video driver then we need to see the "EE" and
"WW" lines in /var/log/Xorg.0.log after a failed attempt to switch with
chvt.)
