View Full Version : [kde] My keyboard is farkled (KDE4.1)

I´m changing some FreeBSD servers to Ubuntu Server 8.1 and am currently working on building out a test server. So far itś been a painless experience. I´ve been working on PC Unixen since the Microsoft Xenix days and this has been by far the smoothest install. I added the X libraries and KDE and itś worked great, except for one thing.

I don´t know if I messed up on the initial Ubuntu keyboard set up (although it did confirm a US-104 keyboard) but some of my keys are messed up.

For instance, the apostrophe key doesn´t do anything unless you hit it twice, in which case it produces what appears to be a back tick. The double quote (uppercase apostrophe key) produces this: ¨ but, again, only after two keypresses.

There are some other weirdnesses too, like the numeric keypadś cursor keys not working.

Any clues? Any fixes?

Thanks for any help.

Okay, I fixed part of this problem with "setxbmap us". But I still can't get the cursor keys on the numeric keypad to work.

Any ideas?
