hi,
Plz.specify the distro you are using.
The problem would be in you xorg.conf file.

post the o/p of /etc/xorg.conf (in slackware its this file)
and also specify which keyboard type are you using i.e US type or something else.

regards

I had a similar problem coz my keyboard was USB port operated.(In Fedora 2).If thats the same case with you, try using a keyboard operated from ps2. the problem is resolved in fedora 4 though.
