There are many ways to workaround this. Most of them involve modifying kxb
configuration. In my notebook and in my home desktop (which has an internet
keyboard with many extra keys), I've done the following:
1. Use xev to get the scancodes or the non-working keys. Execute xev in a
graphical console and press the keys. Two events will be generated for each
key press: one on key down and another on key up. You will see the key code
in both of them. (*)

I'm having trouble learning to use XEV. Is there a place that gives
clear documentation on it?<br>
