3) What is expected to happen is when one presses the PgUp key on the built in keyboard, it does so.

4) What happens instead is no program goes one page up. PgDown works as expected. Following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKeyboardDetection please see attached. **NOTE: Unable to attach gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd as it produced a 0 byte file. I am currently using Xubuntu.

One thing noticed is when pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 and logging in, PgUp works as expected but does not work in the Terminal when in Ctrl+Alt+F7.

xev did not register anything when clicking PgUp. It does register clicking PgDn.

Hey penalvch,

Hi, thanks for reporting this issue during the development period of
Ubuntu.

I notice there's not been further comments to the bug report since the
release came out, would you mind updating us on the status of it in the
release?

Are you still able to reproduce the issue? If not, do you think the bug
report can be closed, or do you think we should continue tracking it?

Just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric release, PgDown and PgUp keys work fine.

I'm using Acer Aspire 5750. Ubuntu 11.10 do still have this problem. At first, it seems to work but it stops working after the first time use.

If I press Ctrl+PgUp key to change the browser tabs on Firefox or Chrome, it keeps changing tabs even though I released the PgUp key (I actually just hit the PgUp key once and didn't keep holding it). It does until I release the Ctrl key which is not normal. However the 'PgDn' key seems to work fine.
After it happens the 'PgUp' key completely stops working. Not just Ctrl+PgUp but any use of PgUp key.

There is insufficient information in this bug report to act upon. I understand that your PgUp key isn't acting as expected, but there can be many reasons for that. Please try to debug further. Try using 'xev' to see what happens when you press the key. Try using 'xinput test <your keyboard>' as well...

Jeremy Huddleston, thank you for taking a quick look at this. However, unless you have installed Ubuntu 11.10 on the same Acer Aspire 5750-9668, and found that the PgUp works for you, or have some other clear and convincing evidence, there is no reason why you should mark this bug "RESOLVED WORKSFORME".

Status -> UNCONFIRMED

Please review the already mentioned downstream bug which contains tons of attachments and debugging information.

Regarding your comments:

>Try using 'xev' to see what happens when you press the key.

I do not know how to use xev. What command specifically would you like to have executed?

>Try using 'xinput test <your keyboard>' as well...

I do not know what my keyboard is. How would I find this information?

A non-working PgUp is a common result of an impedance mismatch between
the input driver and the configured xkb keycodes.

You should confirm that both are evdev or that you have keyboard and a
suitable keycodes for that.

Xorg.0.log will show which input driver is used. xkbcomp :0 - |grep keycodes
will show which keycodes file is used.

After upgrading the BIOS from 1.05 to 1.20 (the latest as Christopher said), the problem's gone. Now it works fine.
