Hi,
I'm using Acer Aspire 5672WLMi laptop , I'm trying to get my $ and euro keys to 
work [both euro and $ keys are on either side of the Up arrow key ]

I tired to follow this wiki given on this bug report>
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerAspire5610#%E2%82%AC%20and%20$%20Keys
But stopped at the  xkeycaps section , since *none* of the keyboard layouts did 
not match my laptop keyboards , and i didnt want to mess the layout , and didnt 
do anything further.

Now, the weird thing is the $ key triggers a "," 
- earlier it did *not* trigger *anything* , previously the $ key just did not 
work[no output]

I ran $ xev | sed -n 's/^.*state \([0-9].*\), keycode *\([0-9]\+\) *\(.*\), 
.*$/keycode \2 = \3, state = \1/p'
it returns:
$ > keycode 129 = (keysym 0xffac, KP_Separator), state = 0x0
euro > keycode 128 = (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), state = 0x0

something seems to have changed but assigned wrongly, unfortunately i
dont know the keycodes/keysym before i tried the wiki

seems my keycodes are *not* outside the keycode range but are not
assigned properly...

this is not probably the same bug ! or maybe it is , since i dont know the 
previous keycodes :(
should i file a separate bug or does anyone know how to fix this?
