Hello,
When I press the scroll lock key, the light does not turn on. I don't think the key is broken (I bought my PC not long ago). Could you tell me how I can fix this? Thank you in advance.
Configuration: Nvidia 8600 GT ;
ACER CPU E5200 ;
4GB MEMORY ;
1 TB HDD
Linux Ubuntu 9.10

Hi,

That doesn't mean anything ;-((
Have you tried your keyboard on another PC?

Thank you for your response
I just tried the key on the console in full screen (alt + CTRL + F1) and it works without any problem. So the issue does not come from the keyboard.

run this command xmodmap -pm.
Open a terminal and type this command:
xmodmap -pm
You should get the output with some mod1 mod2 mod3. Here mod3 should be empty with no value set.
You should have an output like:
With the line containing "mod3" empty.
To set the value create the file Xmodmap in /etc/X11/.
To activate this value, you need to create the file "Xmodmap" in "/etc/X11/"
Type in a terminal:
Be careful with the case (upper and lower case. Try to do "copy/paste" as much as possible)
Add this line in the file
Add this line in the file:
Save the modifications.
Logout and log in again.
Log out and log in again...

First of all, I think I'm having trouble understanding what you want to know, but here are the keyboard options.

If you have a PC, then you have an external keyboard.
If you have an external keyboard, it should have a brand and a model.
According to your last screenshot, if you paid attention, the "keyboard model" is actually a dropdown menu.
So you can select your keyboard based on its brand and model (if it exists in the list).
That's what I was trying to suggest...

Ah, I understand, thank you. :)
The make and model of my keyboard: Acer SK9625.
But it's not listed in the configurations; when I choose Acer, there are only these 4 models:
Acer Airkey V
Acer C300
Acer Ferrari 4000
Acer Laptop
I tried selecting each of them, but none solved my problem.
