Binary package hint: xorg

Keyboard not working properly - Ubuntu 8.10

I recently upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 using the built in package manager 
upgrade.
The arrow keys, PgUp/Down and some more like PrintScreen are not working (the 
right way).
I have tried using different keyboards and keyboard layouts but nothing seems 
to work.
This was no issue with 8.04.
(taken party from: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/47860 )

Affected systems are f.e. IBM ThinkPad T43 and Dell Vostro 1500.

One quick and dirty solution is to execute:
"$ setxkbmap -model evdev"
After xorg has started as user. (eventually as session-entry though)
(refering to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=897367 )

Launching this as root doesn't work, because it is missing a running xorg for 
root of course.
So every user being the first one using xorg after boot must execute the 
command. Not practicable this way for multiuser-systems. :-(

Thanks in advance for resolving this.
