can you plase run
xev -event keyboard
and into its window press and release the 'w' key and paste here the result? something like this:
Copy code
KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x2400001,
    root 0x6a9, subw 0x0, time 4756288, (28,97), root:(202,266),
    state 0x0, keycode 25 (keysym 0x77, w), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (77) "w"
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (77) "w"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x2400001,
    root 0x6a9, subw 0x0, time 4756379, (28,97), root:(202,266),
    state 0x0, keycode 25 (keysym 0x77, w), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (77) "w"
    XFilterEvent returns: False
xev is in the debian x11-utils package, if you dont find it...

seems correct. only a strange high number in the KeymapNotify event: your first number is huge , i have:
Copy code
schippes@mazinga:~$ xev -event keyboard
Outer window is 0x2400001, inner window is 0x2400002

KeymapNotify event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  67  0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0
Will try to understand what this 1st number means...
doesn't matter much i think, after presing some keys i also get these weird numbers...
