Perhaps you try with another keyboard, just to

Yes, it IS the keyboard, but there must be some software on the computer to
react to whatever signal the keyboard sends.
if it is Generic 105 - what is the language and setup
Swiss french, no particular setup that I know about.
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us
on Microsoft Multimedia keyboard (don't blame me for the M$ thing :) - it
turned out M$ multimedia keyboard was the best I could find with wire/USB a
normal key layout and multimedia keys. I don't understand why vendors start
either putting the pipe key somewhere at random on the keyboard or just
omit it)
I also use M$ stuff, in my case a mouse that simply is the best I ever had (I
even have a few spare to make sure I can use them in the future) :)
And as Torvalds is supposed to have said, M$ is not evil, they just make a
crappy OS...
