autlycus

The problem I've seen is that it occurs with or without a PS/2 kext loaded.  I'm guessing the keyboard is recognized as USB rather than PS/2, but that there must be something screwy with the signals being sent.

Has anyone ever encountered or fixed an issue on some Dell notebook (internal) keyboard which cause the super (windows/command) key to not function properly?  I have experienced this on a handful of devices now and it's more than slightly frustrating.  When I alter a key-press with command it just inserts foreign characters (ie Command-Q is Å“, or Command-W is ∑ ).  I have tried the PS/2 keyboard fix int he hopes that this would perhaps have some impact, but it does not.  I also tried re-mapping the keys, swapping Command and Control.  The effect was the same, but with the control key.

I have experienced this issue with both the regular Dell notebook keyboard and the expanded full notebook keyboard (with 10-key pad).  This issue does not happen with external USB keyboards.  Touchpad and Joystick seem to work as expected.
