You are probably setting the xkb keyboard type incorrectly, assuming you are using Gnome, KDE, or Xfce - You need to tell the desktop environment that you have an "evdev" keyboard, instead of whatever keyboard you actually have, and use the "evdev" driver (if I'm not mistaken). I had the same problem a few months ago when I upgraded, and that fixed it. - -- ABCD -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmiILgACgkQOypDUo0oQOpwDACeK/Y2JJ4wiHC3J0OLTd5NoOJT eQEAn30ovptIBWFrIiJ+jfGZYpUN+RQW =73mK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
