It says UNICODE mode and the codes for caps lock are:
press: 0x3a 0xe0 0x66
repeat: 0x3a
release: 0xba 0xe0 0x
0xe6 I guess?
Yes.
I also just discovered the right shift key goes back a page in
iceweasel. Here are the right-shift codes:
showkey -s:
press: 0x36 0xe0 0x6a
repeat: 0x36
release: 0xb6 0xe0 0xea
All this looks like one of the few keyboard glitches that linux-2.6
fixes for some keyboards known to be bogus, while other keyboards do use
these scancodes to report e.g. multimedia keys. Could you try
showkey -s with the older, working kernel?

Stable (2.6.26) which worked fine gives the same as Testing (2.6.32):
press: 0x3a 0xe0 0x66
repeat: 0x3a
release: 0xba 0xe0 0xe6
...which makes me think it's an xorg problem, but I'm not familiar with
how the whole keyboard stack works.
I tried a different usb keyboard (a Dell) under Testing and it works
normally with iceweasel:
press: 0x3a
repeat: 0x3a
release: 0x3b
I wonder why the logitech generates so many codes.
