Hi. I hope someone can help me please.
I bought a new keyboard, a noga NKB-710. The problem is that,
according
to
xev, four of the keys have the same keycode...
The keys Ctrl, Alt, Win*** and shift, have the same keycode, 50. Off
course, it doesn't work correctly. and this way, It's imposible to
me to
configure it with xmodmap.
I don't know what data I can share. I hope this to be sufficient:
attached a lsusb -v output
Thx, bye! :P
Email had 1 attachment:
+ lsusb-v2
  20k (application/octet-stream)
Have you tested if it works in other distros or other computers? Might
narrow down the problem.

I installed the xorg-xev package to compare to what you're seeing. I
think the X11 keycodes are different from the codes actually sent by the
keyboard.
Can you post the output of typing the problem keys when running
    $ sudo showkey
I have:
left-ctrl = 29
    windows = 125
    left-alt = 56
    right-alt = 57
    right-ctrl = 97
    left-shift = 24
    right-shift = 54
I think these are standard for all US keyboards.
That should confirm if the problem is with your keyboard (if the keys
show the same code) or in the driver (or somewhere else).
There's also the slight possibility that it's a kernel bug, which would
show up as repeating codes from showkey, since showkey is as close to
the kernel as possible.

Yes, sorry. My bad. I answered from my phone
With showkey I have the code 42 In alt, ctrl, shift and windows. Again,
the
same code on the keys :/
I'm from Argentina, So I don't have an english keyboard.
The keyboard works fine on windows :/. ¿Maybe is a Driver thing? :S
I dont know what else I can do :S. Is really a nice keyboard :'( jaja.
Thank you!
What's your keymap set to? I don't know what the Argentina layout or
file is.
Try temporarily switching to US qwerty (it'll clear on reboot) and see
if that differentiates the keys.
$  loadkeys us
You can see which keymaps you have by checking /usr/share/kbd/keymaps

This probably won't work, since I think X overrides this, but it's worth
a shot. It doesn't normally override gnome (my DE) when I set it to
dvorak, for instance.
