Is your other keyboard also an USB keyboard? If so, maybe you could test
with a PS/2 keyboard?

regards Henrik

Yes, both tested keyboards that produced the zeros are USB keyboards.
However, I have my normal keyboard connected to the PS/2 port (I also
tested this keyboard connected to an USB port). The second keyboard from
Dell is a USB keyboard, and I only connected it to the USB port.

Every time, the machine produced the sequence of zeros ...

Nevertheless, I try to get a PS/2 keyboard to see what happens.

If there's an incompatibility between the dell keyboard and the linux driver
and you try another dell with the same firmware and chipset, you probably
see the same results. Trying a usb keyboard that is from a different maker
(and hopefully with completely different firmwarea) would be a good idea.
