Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
The arrow keys and HOME, PGUP, PGDN, END keys are not assigned properly in Xorg. They work fine in console. They also worked fine before upgrade to Intrepid. I'm using the same xorg.conf settings as before the upgrade:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
From instructions at https:/
$ xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode /s/^.*keycode \([0-9]*\).* (.*, \(.*\)).*$/\1 \2/p'
Results:
HOME -> 110 Pause
PGUP -> 112 KP_Divide
PGDN -> 117 Menu
END -> 115 Super_L
Left Arrow -> 113 ALT_R
I could not get results from the other three arrow keys using this method, however, using the keyboard shortcuts method, the Up key is set to Print, the Right key is set to 0x72, and the Down key is set to Super_R.

Xorg version 1:7.4-ubuntu2
All other keys seem to be working Ok, as far as I know.
see bug 255008 if this is a dupe of that. Please attach your /var/log/ Xorg.0. log, /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the output of 'setxkbmap -print'. Make sure that you have set the keyboard model as 'generic - evdev' in the gnome keyboard configuration.
