First, this is not a PLIB problem.  PLIB never reads the keyboard - you
do that - and pass the resulting commands to PLIB if you want to.

Second, I'm not 100% sure your problem is GLUT related either.  You are
most likely facing a fundamental hardware issue with PC keyboards.

I wrote a FAQ about it here:

I hope this is of some help.
