x keyboard with most keys dead since update -- more info: xev for two keys

[Blake Thomas Andrew <blakethomasandrew at gmail dot com>]

Hi

Here is xev output for a "q" key followed by a space.

KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001,
    root 0x7c, subw 0x0, time 10376624, (1,81), root:(1862,343),
    state 0x10, keycode 24 (keysym 0x1000ebb, U0EBB), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001,
    root 0x7c, subw 0x0, time 10376718, (1,81), root:(1862,343),
    state 0x10, keycode 24 (keysym 0x1000ebb, U0EBB), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001,
    root 0x7c, subw 0x0, time 10379526, (1,81), root:(1862,343),
    state 0x10, keycode 65 (keysym 0x20, space), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " "
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " "
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001,
    root 0x7c, subw 0x0, time 10379666, (1,81), root:(1862,343),
    state 0x10, keycode 65 (keysym 0x20, space), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " "
    XFilterEvent returns: False

I hope this gives a clue. (The keysym entry seems wrong for the q key.)

Thanks for any help.
