It sounds like your keyboard map is messed up. Does whatever window
manager(GUI) you use have some tool to configure it? If so open it and
make sure you are using the US keyboard. I Can't remember whether it is
102, 103, or 105 keys keyboard. It will be an enlish language keyboard
and not the international one. Also if there is a place to configure the
country make sure it is the US.

Recently, my keyboard has been having troubles. The Caps Lock key does
not work at all within X, but works in console. While in console, the
LED doesn't light up, but it still works. While in X, Num Lock works
(and the LED lights up), and scroll lock doesn't light (not sure if it
works or not). This only happens after an OS is loaded; in the BIOS
and GRUB, everything works fine. I tested during bootup, and the
moment at which Caps Lock stops lighting up is at "Setting preliminary
keyboard". This leads me to think that the console is misconfigured,
but I don't know what changes need to be made.
In addition to all this, Ctrl+Alt+F* doesn't work to go into a console
anymore.
I am running Debian Unstable, with all updates installed.
Could anybody help me get my keyboard working normally again?
Thanks,
Martin
