Hello,

while I'm in the frontend login, each key that I strike on my keyboard refreshes my 
display in different resolution. I can not even do ALT+F1 to go to console. Even 
ALT+Backspace and CTRL+ALT+Backspace can't bring me back before the graphical login.

I'm using Red Hat 9.0 (XFree86 4.3.0) on an Athlon XP+ 1,6gh - Asus A7N8X Deluxe - MSI 
GeForce 4 MX 440 - 512 mb DDR-RAM - ViewSonic E771-2 - Keytronic keyboard (works fine 
in other OSes) and plenty of hard disk space.

Here's the section corresponding to input device in my XF86Config file:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
#
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

My monitor and videocard were correctly detected (nv driver).

Here's a cue though:
While looking at my /var/log/gdm files, I've come across this warning line under the 
section The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:

> Warning: Multiple interpretations of "NoSymbol+AnyOfOrNone(all)"
Using last definition for duplicate fields

and this line comes after this:

expected keysym, got XF86_Prev_VMode: line 54 of XFree86

Obviously, that looks like Previous VideoMode, and that's exactly the reaction that I 
get when I strike any key on my keyboard.
I've checked line 54 in my XF86Config file but it's only a comment line.

What should I do to correct that weird problem without having to reinstall my linux ?

Thank you for your precious time,
