Hello Nathan,

Two years ago you filled the following bug on debian X server:

Does this problem still occur on recent version of xserver-xorg-core ?
(I guess not or more people would have complained)
Do you have an idea on the version that fixed it ?

I just got the same problem when upgrading to xserver-xorg-core 1.6rc1
and fixed it by adding
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
to Section "ServerFlags".

Somehow, input-hotplug decided to add the keyboard twice (see the end of
your log), so you get your configured keyboard plus these two auto-added
ones. That's why each keypress is reported three times.

Brice, who should learn how to use input-hotplug one day or another
