Description Stephen 2009-09-16 00:58:23 UTC
Description of problem:

Fedora 11, updates applied, 5 separate keys don't work. I'll attach a picture showing the keyboard, and the default settings within the gnome keyboard config applet.

I've tried switching the keyboard model to all of the available Dell models, all of the generic models, etc -- no joy.

It's really hard to use the shell without pipe, to write shell scripts without hash, and to program without brackets  :-/

Bizarrely, Google doesn't seem to know about anyone else complaining about the problem.

Here's the profile:

Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command

yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing'

Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD .

Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you.

If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

This is still broken.

Comment 6 Peter Hutterer 2010-03-01 01:09:17 UTC
can you try with a test user please? just create a new one, log in and see if the keyboard is still broken.

if it's still broken then, please attach your Xorg.log and the output of "xkbcomp -xkb $DISPLAY -"

Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution.

Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information.

Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.
