[Windows] Two keys not working in XP

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have troubles with two of my keyboard's (PS/2) keys, those are right arrow and "]" (might be more, haven't been able to test the function keys). I've tried the keys in BIOS and they work well, so I doubt it's something hardware related. What I've also tried is to uninstall the driver and install it again, however that doesn't work, still the same problem. I've tried another keyboard (PS/2 too) and it works flawless with all it's keys. I mainly suppose it's a driver issue, but I'm not exactly sure what to do . I haven't been able to properly install the specific keyboard's driver (Hardware)

My mouse is not working properly, So I enabled keyboard keys for Moving mouse arrow using

Universal Access > Pointing and Clicking > Mouse keys "On"

But Mouse Arrow moves very Slow using keyboard Keys. I want to move it in normal way as I move mouse, using keyboard keys(Numlock keys 2,4,6,8). How to solve this ?

I did a BIOS update on my Dell Studio XPS 13 laptop and now for some reason whenever I try to use the arrow keys (up, down, left, right) all they do is bring up VLC. All the other keys on the keyboard work fine, including my multimedia keys.

Does anyone have any idea how I might change this or even look at the configuration for the arrow keys?

Thanks!

lsusb was the command i was looking for.

My fiance has a MyTouch 3G Slide, and her keyboard has been acting funny. The keyboard seems to be malfunctioning when in use. It's not all keys, but certain keys, where if she types these specific keys, they will randomly type other random letters. She did drop it, so I'm guessing the dropping caught up and the keyboard developed this problem. Is there any way to fix this?

I have a new/clean install of 11.2. I then followed this with the instructions at Nomad - openSUSE and all seemed to be better (see multiple postings from me on this subject). But ...

This time, I have keyboard problems.

I installed the latest set of F16 updates (including a kernel update) and rebooted this morning, to find that the volume keys on the keyboard now don't work.

They are recognized as keys - if I go to the keyboard settings and shortcuts, I can select the shortcut for "Volume down" and press the volume down key, and it shows up.

I'd like to get the five additional "Macro" keys on my new Razer Black Widow working in Ubuntu.

I already tried:

xev: no events logged on keypress - looks like presses don't reach the X cat /dev/input/event: worked for mouse and the standard keys, but not for macro keys Wireshark: It detected my bluetooth mouse but not the keyboard pyusb: with no proper documentation, I thought it was a bit ove

[ubuntu] USB keyboard issue 3 years 43 weeks ago

Hi All,

ctrl/fct/alt key adjustment? 2 years 43 weeks ago

Both the ctrl and alt keys conspire to activate the "special" keys (screen brightness, sound, etc.) rather than targeting the f1, f2, etc., keys. Is there a setting in KDE (default 11.3 install on a pavilion dv7t x86_64 intel i7) that can adjust this? The ctrl key is used a lot by KDE, so I'd like it to target the function keys, not the "special" keys.
