 |

Hey,
I have a problem with certain keys under Gnome (outside X everything works fine):
1. I cannot use letter 'q' - whenever I press it, nothing happens. If a press it with shift then I get a capital 'q'. Of course some other application uses it, but I havo no idea how to check it (tried xbindkeys without success).
2. The Super key doesn't work - I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo notebook and I've read that the key is not willing to work properly at first, but nobody says how to make it work.
cheers

Maybe if you go to Desktop->Keyboard and check your keyboard layout just to see is correct.

Thanks - I just switched one of the 'Layout Options' to 'Super is mapped to the Win-keys' (which was supposed to be default) and my win button is working. However I am still struggling with Q .
