other key, sometimes by the incredibly complicated trick of RTFM for the
machine - or as I have done on more than one occasion sticking on
another version of Linux that seems to spot the eboard better!

I know that sometimes on a laptop there are keys which double up as the
equivalent of the numeric keypad. But, don't the relevant keys show the
secondary usage, usually with the extra characters on the keys but in a
different colour?
Yes but if you've got a keyboard driver that thinks the relevant keys are marked.....
