Keyboard key problem

ijf99 · 04-04-2009, 10:32 AM

I cannot get > or < keys to work on my keyboard in the command line (tried various shells). When I've had a look in the graphical keyboard mapper things look correct and the keys actually work. My keyboard is standard (AFAIK) and using Redhat.

Any pointers?

TIA,
ijf

Standard for which language?

I haved the same kind of problem in ubuntu. The (') and the (") keys didn't work. I turns out i had my keyboard set on us_international layout instead of just us layout.

P.S. I dumped ubuntu because the superblock (partition table) didn't matched the real partition, Odd.

also ubuntu when i ejected my dvd drive, it would go back inside the computer

Also, if you're using a terminal emulation program, with the us layout, I've found that changing the default "input" setting from "Xfree 4" to "Linux" lets me use, for example, the keypad arrow keys, etc. You might try playing with the input device emulation modes to see if it helps.
