Hello,

I have no ide what to do to fix this annoying feature, by default when I start
the X the only effect what I get is to changing the video mode (resolution) when
I press any key.

Renaming the /etc/X11/xkb directory causes that the X server starts up correctly
but of course I have no XKB:

toma@inky:~$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "base", "pc101", "us", "", ""

because it is only a falled back config:

(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Configured Mouse" (type: MOUSE)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Generic Keyboard" (type: KEYBOARD)
(EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
(II) Configured Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded

my related config:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
EndSection

which is pretty "default".

The most interesting part of it: the same happens when I try to use xfree86. And
I tried to purge everything in /etc/X11 and /usr/lib/X11, after reinstalling
everything I got the same. And, I tried to used Ps2 keyboard instead of my USB
MS one, same effect.

And it's a bit surprising, I remember, there was a time, with my old config,
when it worked. But something changed, honestly, I don't know what, I hope you
can give me some hints. I tried strace xorg at the startup, but I haven't seen
any further reading of xkb config. Can you tell me something positive? :)

I can't use any non-US keyboard layout...

I'm using x86 debian unstable.

You're my last hope,

toma
