Acer Laptop Keyboard Config Problem (edgy)

Asked by Steve Garton

I've just noticed that on my Acer Aspire 5601 laptop the £ (as in shift and 3) and capslocks keys do not 'work' in Edgy.

Can anyone suggest a) any work around and b) which package I could file a bug against.

Please let me know any commands I can issue that will help diagnose what is wrong, and why would not be reconised.

In dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I selected gb and PC105 layouts, the same as I have on my desktop, where the keys seem to work just fine.

I believe this is a result of bug #50845. I've switched to US keyboard (for now) and everything works fine.
