OK Ladies & Gents,
Hear we go again.
The down and dirty is that my down arrow key does not work in kde or xfce. It does work in e16 and if I alt-ctrl-f1 to a console. Not sure about the other desktops that I have installed.
The other arrow keys all seam to work correctly.
Debian Squeeze amd64 fully up to date. A google search has not yielded any help so far and the results don't seam to be related to this problem.
A complete system reboot was no help.
Stating what seams to be obvious to me, it seams that the problem seams to be related to the way the desktop environment interacts with the underlying system. If I remember correctly I am using kdm, but gdm is installed and is run at boot also.
Just discovered that the 'end' key is also not working. These non functioning keys don't work if a mod key like ctrl is pressed too. So far it only seams to be these two keys. As with the down arrow key the 'end' key also works in the other environments.
----------------
Next morning,
I have tested the other gui's I have installed and the only ones affected by this are xfce and kde. I tried to launch with gdm but I didn't do something right, will have to do some more searching as to how to change that setting.
OK it is not kdm or gdm, although they still may be related. Running '# dpgk-reconfigure gdm' results in a non launching display manager.
This is interesting
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (1) of script `nvidia-kernel' overwrites defaults (empty).
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 6) of script `nvidia-glx' overwrites defaults (empty).
It didn't do that when I reconfigured gdm, either time. Once from inside the gui and once from a root console. The above is from within the gui using gdm.
Any one have any ideas?
