labtec cordless keyboard error some keys

[aus9]

I have Mdk 10.1 Ce

std kernel 2.6.8.1-10

 

Most of my keys on my Labtec cordless keyboard work and I am using it now.

 

some keys are not working correctly

 

the exclaimation mark !

the tilde ~

the aprostophre ´

and the quotes ¨

 

The quotes and the apostophre are the ones I would love to have working first time.

 

Now sometimes these work after doing a few presses and sometime I have to press shift then pause then press the offending key.......sometimes I have to press a key next to it and then the offending key and then delete the typo

 

Not good.

 

The batteries have been tested and a full.

 

Any clues on what I do next.

 

I spend all my time in KDE if that is an issue.

 

thanks

Are you sure they are not dead keys? Hit ' and then <space>. Or ' and a for á. And check ofcourse if you have selected the right keyboard model and layout in the KDE control center. Try experimenting a bit and change the model and see what you get.

 

Good luck.

thanks I will try it, in the mean time I should have said when I open kwrite and type

eg (shift) quotes and hold down shift and keep on pressing on that example key sometimes it prints to screen and sometimes not.

 

I did not think of changing kb model simply because when it works it has the layout of what I need for a qwerty board.
