Must admit mine works like a dream for over a year now. (I am sure you are now
very jealous)

Right down to business. I spotted this one yesterday but wanted to check my
home config before replying. I only have 2 entries in my keyboard section
of the XF86Config that are not hashed out.
So my Keyboard section is like this.
# **********************************************************************
# Keyboard section
# **********************************************************************
Section "Keyboard"
Protocol "Standard"
# when using XQUEUE, comment out the above line, and uncomment the
# following line
# Protocol "Xqueue"
AutoRepeat 500 5
# Let the server do the NumLock processing. This should only be required
# when using pre-R6 clients
# ServerNumLock
# Specifiy which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Xleds 1 2 3
# To set the LeftAlt to Meta, RightAlt key to ModeShift,
# RightCtl key to Compose, and ScrollLock key to ModeLock:
# LeftAlt Meta
# RightAlt ModeShift
# RightCtl Compose
# ScrollLock ModeLock
EndSection
You could try these settings and see if it gets you anywhere.
The other section to look at is the ServerFlags, did you uncomment the line:-
# DontZoom
If so comment it out again.
If nonie of this works I am stumped. Sorry:-).
