This is an X server problem and the most likely cause is that your server is
picking up a keyboard device (driver "kbd") and the evdev device separately.
If you are using evdev 2.1, then you will get two events for each key press.

Another reason may be that you have an evdev device configured in the
xorg.conf, and the same device gets added again through HAL.
