Hi again,
Rather silly thing this was. I had installed the fglrx software from ATI
for my video card using alien. This caused a dependency problem, so what
I did was to remove the fglrx software, and ran apt-get -f install. This
made the software load correctly. Of course I had to re-install the
fglrx software again, but it is now almost working as I want. Still a
few keys that are off, but nothing I cannot take care of with a bit of
time, and a few cups of coffee.
Sorry for the bother.
