On reflection, I had the same problem recently. Apparently a keymap issue
because it disappeared when I abandoned the locale I was trying to use. It
may have been a GB utf8 keymap or an italian one. Unfortunately, I forget
the details and never solved the problem in spite of trying a host of
suggestions for Option lines in xorg.conf. So not much help really, but I
do remember finding some advice by googling. Maybe you'll have better luck.
