Pardon my typo on "do". You seem to have grabbed the essence of my post however!

Ok - it would appear that you have a misconfiguration on your keyboard
and mouse configuration (presumably within X). Quite why you have this
is indeterminable as you don't specify whterh you have a USB or PS2
keyboard and mouse. I'm going to assume you're using USB for both
however, given we're in 2009.

I would drop yourself into a single user shell, and execute a "sudo
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" (please note I have not tested this -
I'm currently running an AIX 5.3L system).... things might have
changed a little (or a lot)
