Ah, that explains it.

Yes, that's the only remaining candidate. I suppose it's the only
keyboard on that machine.

Unfortunately there is no way at all to identify a separate PS/2
keyboard. With USB or Bluetooth that's possible because these provide
a vendor and product ID, and for laptop builtin keyboards we can query
the system vendor/product. But neither can apply to a PS/2 keyboard.

So there is no way to fix this for this keyboard type, I'm afraid. If
there is also an USB connector, you can use this, and re-supply the
information with "apport-collect 838760".

Thanks,

Martin

Title:
  Support Word/Excel keys on Chicony KB-0350 keyboard

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't understand Word/Excel keys from Chicony KB-0350
  keyboard when they are pressed in Keyboard Shortcuts application.

  Using instructions from /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt.gz I was
  able to create keymap (attached), but I do not know what to write into
  /lib/udev/rules.d/95-keymap.rules because my system vendor and product
  descriptions are empty.

  As a user I expect to see Chicony KB-0350 among choices in Keyboard
  Preferences -> Layouts -> Keyboard model. How can I add my model there
  with a new keymap? Please provide some entrypoints.
