Comment 45 for bug 181057

Here's a fix:

1) Open the following file as root: /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86
2) Find the line <DELE> = 107
3) Replace it with <DELE> = 242
4) Find the line <I72> = 242
5) Replace it with <I72> = 107
6) Save and reboot, delete key will now work.

Tested on Extensa 5620 running Hardy.
