Something I just discovered recently may help here. If you have custom
xorg.conf rules for your input devices and don't just use /dev/mice (and
the kbd equivalent), then if you unplug one of the devices, and then
re-plug it, xorg will still be trying to use the open file-pointer from
the dead device. Normally, you'd have to restart X to get it back.

BUT, chvt 1, chvt 7  seems to make X re-initialise all its hardware. So,
if you do this, you probably can get away with "unmounting" the keyboard.

HTH,
