i have done a recompile of my 2.6.7 kernel for a kernel module of the i8kutil which should allow for mediacontrol via the keyboard. this afforded that i modified the xkexmap using xmodmap (the fn keys on a dell laptop are not by default mapped). thats what i did. after reboot i found myself unable to type in X in the sense that there wouldnt appear any character on the screen on the hit of a key. only ctrl and other metakeys would at all show effects.
i have now found out that i am able to type while holding down shift button. i even have to hold sh for enter or space or backspace. for minor letters i have to activate capslock and hold sh. i m unable to use special char as hypens or comma or other inpunctuation or hash or any special key combinations (i use the ch_sg keymap) _ that s why i dont seem to care about correct interpunctuation here. numbers and periods i manage to write via the special fn key that allows to use the integrated num_field of the laptop keyboard.
this is my xorg.conf
