    [SOLVED] Keyboard problems with Intrepid

    Hi all

    Having upgraded to intrepid I'm finding that certain keys don't function correctly. These are the arrow keys as well as those above them (insert, delete etc) so far.

    If I open up a text login the keys work okay.

    I presumed this was an X problem, however looking at my xorg.conf this seems okay (I'm in the UK), Do correct me if I'm wrong however.

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
    EndSection
    KDE's own settings show pc105 and United Kingdom for my keyboard layout so I'm confused as to what is going wrong.

    If I run cat in a konsole and press the keys I either get nothing or what appears to be the wrong output i.e

    ^@
    or nothing at all.

    I expect I'm just missing a config option somewhere, but any help would be gratefully received.

    You aren't running Kubuntu in a VM environment, perchance?

      Nope, this is a full "main machine" install, oddly enough the keyboard worked fine in the KDE4 I had installed on hardy before upgrade, go figure

        Very naive suggestion: what happens if you hash out the InputDevice section?
        Once your problem is solved please edit the first post of your topic and add [SOLVED] in front of the subject. In that way, others can benefit from your experience!

          No joy unfortunately, although I guess that confirms it's a KDE issue? ...

          EDIT - Just logged into Gnome and fired up Kate and the keys work, so it is specific to being logged into KDE

            Try to set your keyboard as 'evdev managed keyboard' instead of pc105 in KDE Systemsettings as well as comment out the whole keyboard InputDevice section in xorg.conf

              Ah, that appears to have done the trick, many thanks 8)
