I had exactly this problem too - except with Acer keyboards (and I
have seen it reported here with other Acer keyboards as well). You
can set the keyboard flags to make it work if you can get it istalled, but
you need another keybaord to do the install. This broke when 3.x became 4.x
as far as I remember.
