>Description:
Keyboard is randomly erratic with xorg.

The symptom can randomly be one of these with each keypress :
 - Multiple characters to be generated for a single keypress.
 - No character to be generated for a keypress.
 - An other character to be generated for a keypress.
 - Shift and/or alt and/or ctrl can be locked, to unlock one has to press the key again.

Example :
Typing this :
"There is a big problem with the keyboard under xorg."
can return 
"thherechere  iss a big pprlmih thhe yoaa uunrexorgg 7.3;"

Upgrading the ports to 7.3_2 does not resolve the problem.

No problem when using the consoles.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install and launch xorg, then open any application you want and use the keyboard.
