Solved that problem:  I had gotten x.org
working without hald, which required adding this
to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
	Option	"AllowEmptyInput" "off"
EndSection

Of course, KDE4 required me to enable hald,
which requires removing that option <sigh>.
Removing it fixed my input wonkiness.

Now to dig out the instructions for getting
my Ctrl key back when using hald.

Then, I'll try to figure out why kdm works if I
start it manually after the system is
running but kills the screen if I try
starting it from /etc/ttys.
