LinuxQuestions.org - Fn key lock

I installed Mandrake 9.2 on a laptop (Clevo D500) and when I booted up the "Fn" key is locked. I can't even log in because my passwords for all accounts I put in have a capital letter with an Fn key (by depressing the Fn key I still get the original key return, rather than the calculator key, but I can't use shift with the Fn key).

Example: Instead of getting "o" I get "6"

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.

Your other thread will remain open.

Sorry about that, I originally just posted on the software forum, because I thought it was a Gnome problem, but when I did more testing and found out it was happening on the command line and other parts of Mandrake, but not on any of the Live cds I tried, I posted it up here. Then I posted it in the laptop forum since it's a problem that would probably only show up on a laptop.

Plus, doesn't posting it everywhere affected make sense? I mean what if someone who knew the answer never looked at the Mandrake forum because they don't use Mandrake?
