When you plug that keyboard in directly, did you reboot the Linux box from zero with the keyboard plugged in? I've known situations involving a KVM where a keyboard was not recognized by the OS unless a keyboard was present and switched to the port of the booting machine at boot time. I think it was an OS/2 machine though.

It wouldn't surprise me at all to find that Xfree dines further up the food chain than TTY mode does.
