Hi!
I have a "Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 v1.0" (USB) and I am
unable to get the numeric keypad to work under GNOME on my Debian Lenny box
(amd64). They work fine in a console, but under X they neither work as arrow
keys nor digits.
I first thought it was my .Xmodmap file that was playing tricks on me (it
has done so before), but it does not work even when not loading it, so I
have no clue about what is happening.
"xev" shows strange things when I press the keys, when pressing "0" I get a
ButtonPress:
ButtonPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
root 0x101, subw 0x0, time 3998372, (163,59), root:(306,1405),
state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES
Pressing "1" I get a KeyRelease, and a number of "MotionNotify":
MotionNotify event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
root 0x101, subw 0x0, time 4039475, (163,13), root:(306,1359),
state 0x0, is_hint 0, same_screen YES
MotionNotify event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
root 0x101, subw 0x0, time 4039475, (163,13), root:(306,1359),
state 0x0, is_hint 0, same_screen YES
KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
root 0x101, subw 0x0, time 4039595, (163,13), root:(306,1359),
state 0x0, keycode 87 (keysym 0xff9c, KP_End), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Does anyone have a clue about what is going wrong? I have an identical
keyboard connected to another machine, which also runs GNOME and Debian
Lenny (that too amd64) and there it works fine.
