Comment 9 for bug 221011

Update: just installed Hardy + KDE 4.04 on a new laptop and the same thing is happening.

I tried configuring the keyboard with Keytouch and no function keys are detected. I ran it through "xev" again with the following results for keys F1 to F12. (F4 not detected at all)

The keys on the laptop (Dell M1330) all work perfectly apart from the multimedia keys which is another issue...

Can anyone help or provide some insight? Thanks!
