I have the same problem; If I use the keyboard preferences tool and add
the Greek layout, at the next restart i can click and switch the layout
on the panel, but I cannot actually write in Greek. I don't know if it's
supposed to, but when I do use the panel preferences and add the layout,
I have the same problem with Gutsy. This is my entry in menu.lst
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22-13-generic root=UUID=230cdd63-abbb-
43e9-aa14-d2bbd5bf1c1c ro quiet splash apm=power-off acpi=force
I have a P4 3GHz HT on an ASUS P5GD2 MB. BIOS shouldn't be a problem, both ACPI
and APM suported.
