14 laptop keys are inop.  All others work and are mapped correctly.  I used their English (US) keyboard.  They show keys that are not on my laptop and the layout is not even close to my laptop keyboard.

There's no gconf on my system.  That's more keys than I thought.  Could be a connector, I suppose.

Typed $ xinput
Under virtual core keyboard I have AT Translated Set 2 keyboard.  ID=15, slave keyboard (3)

Finally a clue.  How to change to a different set?  Could be it's on an alternate set?
