Creating Keyboard Shortcuts

Hello All,

I have installed OpenSuSE 12.1 (GNOME Desktop) on a HP Mini 110 laptop.

The keyboard for the laptop is only an 80-key keyboard due to the size of the laptop, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this, but I'd thought I'd mention it.

Basically if I go to System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts Tab. Then if I try to create a new shortcut or even modify an exiting shortcut, it does NOT recognize the ctrl key when I use that as part of the key combo.

For example, I created a new shortcut to launch a Gnome Terminal and I wanted to make the shortcut ( Ctrl+Alt+T ) and when I press that key combo it only enters ( Alt+T ) as the keyboard shortcut. I tried using Ctrl+Alt on both side of the spacebar but it does the same thing.

I also tried using a USB Keyboard, but that does the exact same thing as well. Could this be a Driver issue...? I'm not sure what else to try for this.

Any thoughts or suggestion would be much appreciated!

Thanks in Advance,
Matt
