It sounds like something not related to Ubuntu or Linux---a hardware issue.
Try removing the key carefully (it'll probably have a metal bar under it if
it's a long key) and checking that the rubber widget is making contact.

Again, I don't think this is likely to be related to the non-functioning
control key.  Hoary out-of-the-box should work with ACPI rather than APM.
