I just did a full reinstall. I installed hardy from the alternate CD (amd64) on LVM volumes on an encrypted partition.
I still have the same problem : the keyboard of the macbook works fine when entering the password for the encrypted volume and when logging in, but shows the same weird characters while in X.
When i switch to a virtual console with ctrl+alt+Fx it works fine again
So it's apparently only in X, although I don't see anything wrong with the xorg.conf:
