Description Graham Bentley 2009-06-01 22:40:00 UTC

After loading up a minimal install of 7.2 and accepting the default shell, I noticed that the UK currency key is inactive [£] at the console. When the key is pressed the system beeps. Oddly at 'Login:' if I press the key I get the £ symbol but as soon as I am logged in as a user I get a beep. All the other keys are correct. If I plug in my 7.1 disc I get the £ symbol no problem. I have tried a re-install [minimal] with a different [full size ps2] keyboard to no avail. I have tried various keymaps and fonts and still no £ symbol.

The motherbaord is an ASUS M2N68-AM [not sure what the kb controller chip is]

Problem still exists on 11.0 beta. The ¬ key is also inactive.  The unshifted 3 and ` are OK however.  All other punctuation seems OK.  Keyboard is Chesen USB, motherboard is Asrock Q1900TM-ITX
