X won't take keyboard or mouse input

[David Mack]

For the last week or so, I've been running into a problem where X
ceases to accept keyboard or mouse button input (but the pointer still
moves normally). In Xorg.0.log, I keep getting this:

[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
[mi] mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping.

Does not look encouraging. Advice?
