Remap keyboard Ubuntu 12.04; Asus Q500A

Solution 1:

This sounds like an issue with the asus acpi kernel module, try running the latest version from ACPI for Asus Laptops and see if that fixes the issue. Additionally take a look in /etc/acpi/ folder and see if you have any asus specific scripts and settings there yet. Does xev show only the normal letters that were being repeated, or also the XF86 keyevents?
