Just in case this hits anyone else....
My Debian Testing box has been exhibiting weird mouse and keyboard behaviour
for a few days. For example, xev showed the down arrow key generated a down
arrow, but also a keypad enter.
Finally tracked it down today. My /etc/X11/xorg.conf had the traditional
entries for mouse and keyboard. A recent X11 update introduced HAL discovered
mouse and keyboard as well. Removing the xorg.conf static entries has restored
normality, much to my relief.
