I've recently installed Debian on a new Gateway PIII-400. Everything is dandy, except in the X Window System some of my keys don't work, particularly the arrow keys and page-up/page-down keys. It doesn't matter what wm I'm using.
I do get an error about some non-fatal xkeyboard xmapper problem, but I don't think that's it because I've seen this message on other boxen and they didn't exhibit this same behaviour. Besides, a search on the Debian mail archives found the exact error text (I don't have the text available at the moment), and the posters don't mention the non-functioning keys symptoms that I have. (BTW, I never saw any follow-up answers to those questions -- does no one know the answer, or did I just not have an efficient enough search working for me?). I tried to read the manuals on xkeyboard/xmapper/console & X/etc, but couldn't make heads or tails out of it. I reckon I'm still too much of a newbie to understand Linux documentation (but I'm workin' on it...). BTW, I had to resort to the FBDev method of getting my X system to work with my currently-unsupported Rage128 video card; that may or may not have any bearing on my problem. Any clues would be appreciated. Thanks!
