On this laptop, the "windows" >key does what left ALT normally does, making life miserable when >running a non-win98 external keyboard.) This is pretty wiered. You mean the REAL left ALT key doesn't work on this notebook and the external keyboard? Can you veryfy that the same problem exists in other OS, such as W*ndows, environments? If so, I suspect there is a bug in the keyboard controller firmare, which traslates keyboard signal into scan codes.
