Hi all.
After updating world, xorg-1.5.3-r6 to 1.7.6 among others, I'm now faced with
a/m issue.
1. left ctrl key works fine, so does the down arrow key on the numpad.
2. Seems like the "down" key generates a double sequence: both the "down" event
and a newline.
This doesn't happen in terminal mode, nor in firefox (3.6.3) or amarok, but does
occur in konsole, thunderbird-bin, kwrite, oowriter & eclipse-3.5.
Attached is xorg log.

I've no idea how to proceed w/this. Any clues would be appreciated.
With every version of X11, the amount of stuff in xorg.conf gets less,
as part of the xorg design. I can see from your xorg.log that you have
things in xorg.conf that shouldn't be there any longer. Specifically,
you seem to be using the keyboard and mouse drivers *and* evdev at the
same time, which is wrong -- evdev has replaced the mouse and keyboard
drivers, and you don't need an "Input device" section for either of them
now.
I suggest you generate a new xorg.conf by running "X -configure" and
use the result as a good place to add a few custom things like these:
(**) Option "xkb_layout" "en_US,ru"
(**) Option "xkb_variant" ",winkeys"
(**) Option "xkb_options" "grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
