'the screen' is not clear to me. I suspect it means something else that
is not a screen, because screens are not in charge of responding to
keyboards or mouses. The kernel does it, Xorg also does it.

I'm not sure of whether eudev can be responsible of locking the
keyboard management functions of the kernel, and of course I may be
wrong, but if Ctrl-Alt-F1 doesn't work, maybe the issue is not
precisely related to 'stopped eudev prevents Xorg for working',
as suggested by the subject.

I think it may be a point to take into account. Just that.

Cheers,
Salo.
