I confirm also that this seems to be happening only when you are in X for the first time since booting the PC: after the above problems, I quit the session, gdm restarts, I can type the password with the netbook keyboard, then if I switch to VT and then back to X, the same keyboard now works like a charm, and Xorg.0.log now displays these lines instead of those above:

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

(II) AT Translated Set 2 keyboard: Device reopened after 1 attempts.
(II) Macintosh mouse button emulation: Device reopened after 1 attempts.
(II) Logitech Optical USB Mouse: Device reopened after 1 attempts.

As you can see, now there's no "device key_bitmask has changed" and "Device has changed - disabling."

Hope this helps whomever the bug will be assigned to.
