This keyboard issue may be related to the problems I am having with suspend/resume.
I have been having problems with my pageup/pagedn keys. They rarely work on my keyboard (but work fine if I plug in an external keyboard). Sounds like a hardware problem.... however, I took my laptop with me down to the coast and it has been working flawlessly for me here. The only difference is that I am running off of a pcmcia modem instead of pcmcia network card. Using a pcmcia network card also creates an instability in the system if I suspend/resume such that the system will crash/reboot (even if the suspend/resume happened at some time before the pcmcia network card is inserted.) It is possible that the trip down here dislodged whatever was causing the problem if it was hardware related, however I thought I would post it to see if anyone else with an Inspiron 8000 also noticed this. When I get back home this weekend, I will plug it back into the network and see if the pageup/pagedn keys still work.
