chmod 666 /dev/*
First assessment of problems: I can't open a terminal in any windows manager.
Can someone post a ls -l /dev please?

The first thing you can do to fix your immediate problem is
Note the capital X
This will give eXecute permission to all directories (and any files that already have exec - which according to what you've said, is none).
This should allow you to open terminal windows (the reason you can't is because /dev/pty, where all pseudo-terminals lie, doesn't have eXecute permission so nobody can enter that directory).
Finally the permissions for most devices are 644, or rw-r--r-- with the exception of those that don't need as much security (/dev/null for example).
Anyways let me know how it goes, HTH!

Hi,
Adding execute permission to the folders seem to have taken cared of all the problems I had the time to notice (terminal and sound not working).
Now everything not a folder is 666. I think I'll simply leave it as is. This is a home server and all the users can be trusted.
It occurded to me that I have another box with devfs and linux 2.4. I think I can figure out the most part of it.
I just panicked a bit tough
