Sounds like the video card went into power save. Pressing a shift key might have brought it back.

I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this or, if a PR is necessary against the Xorg radeon driver.

It's not clear whether you were running in the console or X. If X wasn't even installed yet, the radeon driver could not have been at fault.

Yes, Xorg was running with gdm and gnome2. I was building packages from ports in a gterm. No, no combination of Shift-Fn or <Meta-key>-Fn did anything. The keyboard was active as the Caps-Lock and Num-Lock lights worked.
The monitor power save features are disabled.

Maybe xscreensaver?  Whatever's causing it, it's not a common problem.

I wonder if the Linux Catalyst Control Center app. from ATI would work under VirtualBox-OSE?

No, the hardware is virtualized to the VM.
