This is the symptom I see when I try "evdev" driver and am using a MS Natural Pro keyboard. Briefly the keyboard is handled as two USB devices. The keys that work are on the first device, the ones that don't on the second device. Following gentoo-wiki howtos it looks like you have to hack the kernel. At that point I simply reverted to using the "kbd" driver. Maybe some year evdev will mature... Quick check, look in your xorg.conf "ServerLayout" section, identify which keyboard InputDevice, then check to see which driver it is using. HTH, Roy
