Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Once there was a known bug on xorg-input-evdev causing the keybord arrow keys to be mapped to wrong keysims, for instance top arrow to "print screen", bottom arrow to "multi key", ecc. This is documented in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_input_hotplugging#Using_the_evdev_driver_kills_my_arrow_keys.2C_printscreen_is_triggered_instead In principle, that bug should have been fixed with xorg-input-evdev 2.1.0, hence ubuntu karmic should be free from it. Unfortunately this is not (completely) the case. When my machine is hibernated and restarted from hibernation, I frequently have my arrow keys mismapped.
