Really? They work ok for me...
What happens when you run this test prog?


#include <stdio.h>
#include <allegro.h>

void main()
{
   allegro_init();
   install_keyboard();

   while (!key[KEY_ESC]) {
      printf("left: %s, right: %s  \r", 
             key[KEY_LSHIFT] ? "yes" : "no",
             key[KEY_RSHIFT] ? "yes" : "no");
      fflush(stdout);
   }

   clear_keybuf();
}
