This happens to me too with Karmic on an Asus EeePC 1000H netbook : if I switch to VT (CTRL+ALT+F1) and then back to X (ALT+F7) then the netbook keyboard doesn't work anymore, unlike the USB keyboard which I also have. No problem with touchpad or USB mouse.

By the end of Xorg.0.log, after three switch-to-VT-then-back-to-X's, I found the attached lines. As you can see, there is always a series of "reopening" of the devices, but while all the others succeed, the builtin keyboard fails:

(--) ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad: touchpad found
(II) Asus EeePC extra buttons: Device reopened after 1 attempts.
