Okay, here's a strange one I have yet to find an answer for.
When I am in Gnome, my laptop keyboard takes on a virtual ten-key arrangement on a portion of its alphabetic keyboard. The laptop in question is an ultra-portable with no separate ten-key setup on the right). So far, I have not found a control either physical or in software to revert to the standard layout.
I mostly use a wireless keyboard and mouse, which does not have this problem--and it doesn't happen when I am in any of the other graphical environments such as Enlightenment, LXDE, KFCE, or KDE (although since an "upgrade" a few weeks back there are other issues with KDE I have not yet addressed). I haven't tried Fluxbox as yet, but since so far Gnome is the only one with this issue on the same machine I presume it is a Gnome issue.
I am using Ubuntu 10.10; the machine is an ASUS UL30a.
Have any of you folks run into this situation, and if so, how did you resolve it?
Since I do have alternatives, I haven't spent as much time as I might have to try to chase down all the possiblilties yet, especially since we're only about a month out from the 11.04 release. However, I am turning back to it today to see if I can't find out what is going on. Thus far, I haven't found it in the Gnome docs and howtos, and have not yet been successful in finding a discussion anywhere in which this has come up.
Therefore, if you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
David
