- 1If you're and advanced/experienced user with a good programming background, I'd suggest you call X with strace, and monitor the output while doing those things. Hopefully it will give you an insight on what's going on behind the scene.msb– msb2019-10-16 01:30:53 +00:00Commented Oct 16, 2019 at 1:30
- Also, it doesn't look completely unrelated to me. If your system is detecting the webcam as a keyboard, there is a conflict. I can connect 2 keyboards to my system and they will both work independently. If your X thinks the camera is a keyboard, and considering that a camera is constantly capturing images and sending it to the system, it's possible that your system is overwhelmed with too much "keyboard input", which might be why the other (real) keyboard doesn't work: X never gets a chance to process that input, in the middle of so much "fake" input.msb– msb2019-10-16 01:35:01 +00:00Commented Oct 16, 2019 at 1:35
- I've seen issues like this with older kernels. For example this. Can you check with another kernel and see if that fixes it? There is more information in the bug and some of the duplicates.Eduardo Trápani– Eduardo Trápani2019-10-16 14:46:37 +00:00Commented Oct 16, 2019 at 14:46

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
