Hi,
recently my backspace key stopped working. Booting into Windows it works as usual.
showkey says keycode 445 which is unusual.
It affects X and also the Virtual konsole. I'm running 6.6.74-gentoo-dist. Rebooting previous working kernels does not solve it.
Any idea?

I'm lost with this silly bug. I tried all like fn+backspace fn+ESC, fn+F1 to F12 for toggling some fn lock or something...
xev doesn't show anything on backspace or fn+backspace, while showkey shows "keycode 445 press". That is already weird. | Code: | # setxkbmap -query

That is even weirder, I'm out of ideas.
