This was filed against the wrong driver package. -keyboard is no longer maintained; keyboards are managed via the -evdev driver now. However from the comments it seems that this has something to do with gnome gconf settings (so perhaps this belongs to gnome-settings-daemon?)
Also sounds like there is a BIOS settings aspect to this, or perhaps completely different bugs are exhibiting the same symptoms. Not sure there's much we can do about BIOS settings causing trouble, but maybe file a new bug against the kernel to have that looked into. ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-input-keyboard (Ubuntu) => gnome- desktop (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-desktop (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-keyboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566161 Title: Keyboard acts like "Fn" key always pressed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop/+bug/566161/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
