arrow keys don't work intrepid

[Sergey Rudchenko]

Kubuntu Intrepid amd64

Arrow keys (ins,del,home,end,pgup,pgdn too though) do not work in KDE. I have tried twm and these keys work well there for xterm and konsole (any KDE app). When I run KDE neither xterm nor konsole accept that keys. xev detects keypress/keyrelease events.

ah, forgot, johanbr said, this also affects GNOME

I have opened a "Configure Shorcuts" dialog and has found that "disabled" keys are mapped to the following:

Left Arrow - > Alt
Down Arrow -> Meta
Up Arrow -> PrintScreen
RightArrow - nothing

are you using kde4 or kde3?

This was an issue with keyboard layouts if I recall correctly. It should be fixed by now. Please confirm.

The solution proposed here worked for me:

After selecting 'evdev-managed keyboard' as the keyboard model, the mismapped keys worked properly again.
