I believe a similar issue was reported a while ago and I also had some
troubles with alienblaster a while back because my keyboard was detected
as a joystick. Eventually we reassigned the bug report to udev.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=711350

If you tell me what type of keyboard you use I could reassign this issue
to udev as well. I don't believe that SDL or powermanga are at fault here.

P.S.: Please fix your e-mail server because it rejects my emails.

Regards,

Markus
