Re: Keyboard layout forces use of Fn function
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Mr. Marjal, Well, there is no real number pad on the EEE pc. The problem happens for letters and also for non-letters keys. I tried NumLock and related things. What's really strange is that using setxkbmap results in a correct layout until the screensaver locks the computer or until next reboot.

Keyboard layout forces use of Fn function
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I've got an Asus EEE PC 1000 HE which works great for many years.

I tried reconfiguring X11, editing my xorg.conf too. My xorg.conf now contains, apart from some Synaptic touchpad stuff: == Section InputDevice Identifier keyboard Driver kbd Option CoreKeyboard Option XkbRules xorg Option XkbModel pc104 Option XkbLayout be == The main thing is that typing simply `setxkbmap' as a command results in a correct keyboard after some random delay. Could someone provide me with a solution to this weird problem?
