Good point about /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/. It reminded me of another
possible source of keyboard troubles. Please post the output of:
dpkg -l xlibs\* xkb\* | grep ^ii
Hi,
This is my xorg.conf, keyboards settings:
--
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "be"
EndSection

The output of dpkg:
--
debian:/etc/X11# dpkg -l xlibs\* xkb\* | grep ^ii
ii xkb-data 0.8-5 X Keyboard Extension (XKB)
configuration data
ii xlibs-dev 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System client library
development fi
ii xlibs-static-dev 7.0.20 transitional metapackage

Yesterday I already re-installed x11-common and xkb-data, without any luck.
Regarding the /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86 file, actually I don't
know how it should look like, so I don't know if this is correct or
not.
Nothing was changed in that the last months, I'm doing an update of
the packages almost daily. But 2 days ago I restarted my PC, so also
my X. And only then I noticed the problems. Most probably the update
which cased this problem happened already days or weeks ago, so it's
difficult to say which upgrade caused this problem.
