my suggestion is to run xf86config again and make sure you store the
correct parameters in /etc/X11/XF86Config

I tried several times but that didn't help :'(
The funny thing is if I do shutdown -r 2 and then startx, when the
computer is switching off, I can see some of the keys I'd pressed under
X...

What's in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4? Here's the relevant parts of mine, which
was actually copied from a Mandrake system:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "Keyboard"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbCompat" ""
Option "XkbOptions" ""
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout1"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
Screen "screen1"
EndSection
