keyboard layout, up key not working

[ryadav]

i am using kubuntu and i would like to know how i can change my keyboard layout, i am using a ms media pro keyboard

just today i noticed randomly my up cursor key will stop working, the only way for me to fix this is to reboot, this is getting really annoying!

if i run xev and press the up key here is the output:

KeymapNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4294967168 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,
root 0x15a, subw 0x0, time 8426048, (163,-16), root:(165,7),
state 0x0, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff52, Up), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False


i have no idea what is eating up my cursor key, and if this is the only key affect???

system setting> input devices

or

system settings> shortcuts and gestures

Have you found a solution for this symptom?
Because I suffered this too. Mine is Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and I use cherry keyboard(G80-11900).

Same here. Changing keyb layout does not help.
