Hmm, your Xorg finds two keyboard-type devices, event4 and event3. The
first one that it finds has mouse buttons, which does not look right to
me.

This looks good and makes it clear that the keyboard should be
/dev/input/event3.
Now we have to figure out why event4 (the mouse probably) is also seen
as a keyboard. Please post the output of:
ls -l /dev/input/by-id/
lshal --show $(hal-find-by-capability --capability input.mouse)
grep -Ev '^(#|$)' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
