Is there a way to see what codes are being sent out by a keyboard as a
key is pressed?

It is really weird that the backspace key should work normally under the
CLI, but wrongly with some keyboards under X.

Sorry for harping on about this, but it is obvious to me that there is a
fault in some code somewhere that should be fixed.

Sindi's patch is not a fix; it is a way to bypass the fault and correct
only its effect.
