Search the archives for xmodmap.. :-) There are keyboards to download
and try out.

There are a switch -fullscreen if my memory doesn't fail me..

Most of the stuff printed out are for debugging purposes..

The `problem' might be that the people are trying to get it to work,
writing docs and so on ;-) You can tune if you want :-)
