So how *do* I get my arrow keys back?

[Jonathan Corbet]

So I'm feeling pretty dumb, like I should be able to figure this out by
myself, but...  The X keyboard bug:

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434669

is said to be fixed and all is well.  But there's clearly quite a few of
us who still experience extreme paranormal phenomena whenever we try to
use obscure keys like "up arrow" or "page down".  The bug report is full
of helpful comments like:

	As already written up-arrow = PrintScreen is new xorg's way of
	telling you you should configure evdev+evdev instead of
	kbd+pc105,jp106 or whatever

There's also a pointer to this message:

	https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-February/msg02131.html

which features lots of delightful XML stuff.  

Me, I'm a kernel-oriented guy, so I find the idea of mucking around with
all that XML a little frightening.  Surely we don't all have to do that
just to make our plain old keyboards - which always worked - work again?
