Dear maintainers,
because nobody of you paid attention to my previous bug report (#570007),
I wrote a new one in a better form, which contains also some new
information:
I've got a bug, that is similar to this reported one year ago:
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user@lists.debian.org/msg537177.html
The difference is, that all my packages are uptodate (sid), see list below.
Here, again: If I press b and release b three times, I get the following
on xev:
KeyPress event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001,
root 0x113, subw 0x0, time 1121823, (682,367), root:(683,384),
state 0x0, keycode 56 (keysym 0x62, b), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (62) "b"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (62) "b"
XFilterEvent returns: False

XFilterEvent returns: False
In other words I must print a letter $X twice to get one $X and the second
is key stroke is interpeted as Ctrl+Shift+$X.
If I don't write "setxkbmap us" on .xinitrc, I get the following in xev by
press and release key c:
KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001,
root 0x113, subw 0x0, time 2933923, (744,320), root:(745,337),
state 0x0, keycode 36 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001,
root 0x113, subw 0x0, time 2934070, (744,320), root:(745,337),
state 0x0, keycode 36 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
In other words the keyboard doesn't work at all.

I'm not sure which package causes this problem. If you know, please move
the bug report to the right section.
My xserver is unusable for more the two months. Please, please help!
Thank you in advance.
