I ran this test on 3 different computers, including the problem one. It
works fine on the other two, the KEY_UP events are received. The problem
computer is a 2009 macbook. I don't know what's different about it that
would cause this. It's not the hardware because my game works fine in
OS X. It's either something in the Allegro X11 keyboard driver (hopefully)
or something at a driver level. I'm not even sure if the "standard"
keyboard drivers are used or what, or really what to look for as far
as keyboard modules, though I assume that's built into the kernel anyway.
Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks,
