I am using XFCE4, and it appears not to have any such option.

I got Caps Lock working by messing around with it, reinstalling it a few times, etc. I don't know what made it work though.

Still, however, Scroll Lock doesn't work and I can't change to a virtual console. In addition, the Logo and File keys don't work (those aren't very important, but they might help debug things).

I am using the Dvorak layout for my keyboard, and it is specified in xorg.conf. I tried changing back to us, and it gives the following error:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ setxkbmap us
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
Couldn't find rules file (xorg)

You may have already looked at this, but it may be helpful
to post the InputDevice section(s) of your xorg.config file.

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
