I have a machine that's quite old and underpowered that I've been running

a bunch of packages (including lots of xserver-xorg* and the kernel) I
found that my keystrokes were not being properly registered (but only in
X -- the command line and remote SSH sessions work fine). Basically I
found that on the gdm login screen when I hit a key nothing would happen,
but the second time I hit it, the character would be rendered on my
screen. Going on a hunch I tried to login by typing every character in
both my username and password twice and it succeeded. Once logged in (to
KDE) things were worse (keystrokes were obviously being mapped to strange
things, as I couldn't even get any letters to render in a konsole
session).

How is your keyboard configured? Please post the output of these two
commands (you can run them in a non-X terminal, e.g. CTRL+ALT+F1):
Thank you very much for the response.
