I agree now that the keymap is most likely the problem. Here is the
XF86Config-4 from my Q950 w 17" monitor:
### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION
# XF86Config-4 (XFree86 server configuration file) generated by
dexconf,the
# Debian X Configuration tool, using values from the debconf database.

# Edit this file with caution, and see the XF86Config-4 manual page.
# (Type "man XF86Config-4" at the shell prompt.)

# If you want your changes to this file preserved by dexconf, only make
changes
