Keyboard problems (keys around numpad area not working). FC9

[wesetters]

Well, as the title says, the keys around the numpad aren't behaving properly now that I've upgraded to Fedora Core 9 (was using version 6 before, without any trouble).

Keys affected :
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,*,-,+,/,","

This is a French layout keyboard, so not sure if a few of them aren't where expected.

[  NUMLOCK    ][/  ][*      ][-]
[      7      ][8  ][9      ]|+|
[      4      ][5  ][6      ]|+|
[      1      ][2  ][3      ]|E|
[         0        ][ Del/, ]|E|

(E for Enter)

The non-numerical keys do nothing at all. 0 also does nothing. Five is behaving as right-click mouse button. 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9 all move the mouse pointer around the screen in their respective directions. This is both with and without num lock activated.


xorg.conf is below

i'm completely confused by all this...

I have similar problem, numpad is not working properly for me but for another user on the same computer it's working correctly. Probably it depends on some gnome setting. In Fedora 8 it was OK for both users.

And here is the solution:
you have to disable the “Allow to control the pointer using the keyboard” checkbox in keyboard preferences
