Just to clarify, xev dumps the X events to the stdout that
started the xev instance. Try running it from a shell to make sure
that your window manager isn't slurping this output up. eg:

$ xev     # window opens
Outer window is 0x5000001, inner window is 0x5000002
 
PropertyNotify event, serial 7, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
    atom 0x27 (WM_NAME), time 19466334, state PropertyNewValue
 
PropertyNotify event, serial 8, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
    atom 0x22 (WM_COMMAND), time 19466334, state PropertyNewValue

... and lots more - move mouse into xev window and start pressing
... keys

KeyPress event, serial 18, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
    root 0x2d, subw 0x5000002, time 19471264, (24,43), root:(620,753),
    state 0x0, keycode 41 (keysym 0x20, space), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 characters:  " "
 
KeyRelease event, serial 18, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
    root 0x2d, subw 0x5000002, time 19471320, (24,43), root:(620,753),
    state 0x0, keycode 41 (keysym 0x20, space), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 characters:  " "

... and there are the keycodes, keysyms and so on.
