what's wrong.
Here's the version of severals core components of my system.
udev: 165
kernel: 3.2.28 (totally vanilla)
dbus: 1.4.1
xorg-server: 1.9.5

I know with my first post I did not include a lot information, I'll try to
be more clear now. I don't think it matters, but I do not use graphic login
manager. I log myself in a tty, and I start Xorg with xinit. I use a really
simple tiling wm. My .xinitrc file go like this

setxkbmap ca
exec spectrwm

and that's it.

So, I log in into the tty, I do xinit, and I CAN see the graphical
interface of my windows manager, but I can't move the mouse, and the
keyboard is frozen. As I said before, the magicsysk combination for killing
xorg seems to work at 50%. When I do it, I can't see anymore the graphical
interface of my windows manager, it's just a black screen. Then, I have no
choice, I have to press on the reboot button, but I noticed that when I
press on the reboot button just one time, without holding it, I can see the
shutdown process going on with systemd. I can't think of what detail I
could forget about. I hope I gave enough information.
