I have a problem with the F-10 keyboard producing the wrong codes.
XEV displays keycode 104 when I press the down arrow on this F-9 box
but on the F-10 box it shows 116. 116 is normally one of the Windows
keys [next to the RH ALT key] which I normally have mapped [via
xkeycaps] to produce a degree symbol.
I tell xkeycaps that it's a PC 104 key keyboard and things usually
work, not with F-10, I press the down cursor key and get a degree
symbol!
Any suggestions appreciated.

I also had problems with keyboard layouts in X after installing F10.
Not your specific situation, but you may want to take a look at bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470153 to see the problem
and the solution. It may give you some idea on how to fix yours.

No, I didn't find anything helpful there, language is already set
correctly as US English.
But I have proved that the problem is triggered when xmodmap is run.
If I run it to remap just one key it appears my keyboard layout is
corrupted and worst of all remapping the RH Windows key [#116] to the
degree° symbol renders the down cursor key [#104] useless, it becomes
a degree key in addition to 116?
This is only a problem on the F-10 computer. These are changes I have
made routinely in every version of Fedora!
I will put off upgrading this F-9 computer for a while since that
problem precludes such things as disabling the Caps Lock key and I am
a lousy typist.

This morning I tried booting the computer from the F-9 Live Gnome CD
and things appear to work normally after I enter /usr/bin/xmodmap
-e 'keycode 116=degree'
The Windows key to the right of the right hand ALT key now produces
a "°" [degree] symbol while the cursor down arrow key still
functions normally.
It would be informative if someone else running F-10 would try
duplicating my problem by entering:
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e 'keycode 116=degree' and see if they get the
degree symbol and if the down arrow still works normally?
The F-10 in question was installed from the live CD but I would not
expect that to make any difference.
Thanks.
