Well, "reset" only applies to the terminal it's called from IIRC.

Now that I look at it more closely, I see that you're always getting doubles
of some (wrong) character.  So maybe there's a speed mismatch somewhere?  I
looked at the binary values representing ASCII, keycodes (appears to be the
same as ASCII at least for stuff I can type directly), and keysyms (no
capitals), and nothing stood out.  Maybe the keyboard driver needs to be
reloaded?  Heck if I know how to do that, though.
