Hi again, Further information, if it helps.
I find the command > setxkbmap -model jp106 -layout jp useful to get most of the keys correctly mapped, but I am still missing the backslash, arrows and a few others (though I have discovered backslash on the "windows" key). The output of both commands you suggested below remains the same both before and after applying the above command. Presumably I have an usual keyboard layout, but it was working well under XFree and then Xorg for a long time, without any special tweaks, AFAICR. Oh, and it works fine under the console (ie. outside of X & gnome). Any suggestions to get my keyboard working again would be gratefully received.
