to try and test this I did ctrl-alt-F1 and flipped/closed the lid, this 
killed X with the following error

I have not yet been able to duplicate this error, but I do notice that 
when I switch back to the console the function keys and gamepads don't 
produce the samw result (instead of showing ^[[A it just shows A) I 
haven't rebooted yet, I will try that next.
