You win the prize! That was it... I'm using an older version of GPM in repeater mode: it's using my synaptics touch pad and repeating to X (via /dev/gpmdata) in ImPS/2 mode. If I setup my XF86Config-4 to use only the external USB mouse, 4.2.99.4 starts up fine. If I set it up to use ONLY the GPM repeater, I get the blank-screen/dead keyboard effect. Recall that 4.2.99.3 works fine on both setups. I'll do some further experiments to see whether this is due to how my version of GPM repeats or whether it's a PS/2 thing.
