Re: IBM Thinkpad 770 - Mouse "goes crazy" in X (fixed!) but now Keyboard is acting weird!

[Iohan <linux@ochupu.com>]

Thanks for the suggestions guys, my mouse now works properly after I got 
rid of gpm.  However, when I enter Gnome now and start Gnome Terminal, some 
of my keys on the Thinkpad are not mapped correctly.  For example, when I 
press the "/" key, I get a "-" (which was almost disastrous as I was trying 
to search something in dselect and ended up almost uninstalling some random 
apps) and when I press "&" I get "/" and other weirdness.  It's probably a 
keyboard setting file or something right?  Can you point me to the right 
direction?  It works fine in the regular console (non-X) of course...

Still learning...
