key mapping problem

[Jouk Jansen]

Hi all,

I upgraded my Acer-Aspire-1700 Laptop from F9->F10
After that I got problems with the key-mapping

I use xmodmap to "redefine" some keys. This worked perfectly in F9 but after
the upgrade some keys (i.e. "left_arrow) is not working, when typed on the
laptop's own keyboard. On a attached USB-keyboard everything is fine.
Removing the xmodmap-table make at least the "arrow" keys work again.

If I check with the program "xkeycaps" which keycodes are generated I see
that on the laptops-keyboard the "left_arrow" generates code 71 instead of 64,
which explains why xmodmap fails because keycode 71 (right-ctrl) is redefined. 

A few other keys show the same strange behaviour

Can anybody explain this?
