Letter "d" no longer recognized in console or xterm

Hi
I am running fedora 7 with kernel 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 on my IBM thinkpad T60.
For some reason virtual consoles and xterm is no longer able to
interpret the action when a type the letter "d". All other characters on
my US keyboard show up fine on the screen.
This started, I think, after the latest update to the present kernel,
however, the system under the earlier kernel does the same now.
It is not a hardware problem as you can see. I have no problems in the
gnome environment in general (except for xterm) and in applications
started from the virtual console such as VIM.
At the login stage under xterm and virtual consoles the
letter d, however, will be displayed without problem.
In the console or xterm if I first pres ^v and then "d" the letter d
will also be displayed.
So I guess something is wrong with how the console or xterm interprets
that key since ^v sends the next character typed directly thru to the
device driver with no action or interpretation.
I have not (deliberately) reassigned the key or tried to make it behave
differently.
This is the output when start xev and I press d:
KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x3600001,
root 0x3f, subw 0x0, time 883472991, (358,-81), root:(368,16),
state 0x0, keycode 40 (keysym 0x64, d), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (64) "d"
XFilterEvent returns: False
I have searched the internet but nothing seems to pertain to this
problem as they mostly regards getting special characters to work.
Does anyone know a more permanent solution that ^v.
