that's the most important one, xorg.conf is helpful if you have one and for
servers up to including 1.7 the output of lshal can be required too
(depending on the issue, not in your case).
Keyboard issues often need the keymap too (xkbcomp -xkb $DISPLAY -)
Finally, the output of evtest against the device file when you hit the keys
in question.
