Let me add some additional information. I am right now only talking about my PC with PS/2 keyboard.
The netboock keyboard of course is proprietary and cannot be selected in the keyboard list. Additionally hitting the power-button brings up the logout-menu immediately.

1. keyboard type:
It is definitely a definitely standard "generic PC 105 keys (Intl)". If you need precise information:
Cherry
Model RS 6000 M
Part-No. G83-6105LRNDE-2 /06
These keyboards are sold 1000 or million fold with many different language layouts for home and office use.
It is not selectable in the settings menu (only some exotic Cherry types).

2. It works perfectly since years and still performs correctly with Hardy and WinXP

3. "Ctrl+Alt+Del" is just English translation of German "Strg+Alt+Entf".
Please don't misunderstand as Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (which restarts X-server and is de-activated in Lucid).

4. I do hate those USB-keyboards, as I need the keyboard already at early boot time and a PS/2-keyboard is the one which always works on any PC.

5. I had to disable "USB legacy support" in the BIOS because:
a) I do not need it because I do not have a USB-keyboard
b) It causes problems with kernel-suspend: suspent+resume works only once, 2nd suspend fails.

The other requested information according to your link will follow in the next post.
