I don't really know anything about it. I just googled "asus eee pc keyboard
stuck in fn mode", or something of the sort.  Apparently the above
toggles NUMLOCK (and maybe SHIFT NUMLOCK toggles it too, from what I've read).

Seems the problem is related to the laptop keyboard and not strictly
Debian, though.

Good luck.
