I haven't seen that problem on my eee. I no longer have the original
firmware loaded on it, but have replaced it with Ubuntu.

There appears to be a software region setting for the keyboard though.
Changing it might be tricky.

Scroll to the bottom and read the comment:

"Regarding access to control panel, first you need to get it hooked up
to the web, then follow these instructions Press Ctrl+Alt+T to bring up
a terminal Type "sudo bash" to gain root access Type "apt-get update" to
make sure you download the most up to date packages Type "apt-get
install kicker" and answer "y" when asked if you want to install Type
"apt-get install ksmserver" and answer "y" when asked if you want to
install Type exit twice to leave..."


My advice:  call Asus.
