SuSE Linux: Version 8.2
The key with the characters "<, >, | " no longer works after the installation of SuSE Linux 8.2.
Due to an incorrectly-set keyboard type for 104 keys, this key has no function.
There are several approaches for solving this problem:
Start YaST2 Control Center and select the menu items:
Now select "Ready", "Finish", "Save", and "Accept". To activate the new settings, the current user must log in and out of the system to reload the X server configuration file.
You are logged in as root in a text console (if this is not the case, log in as root with "su"). Make sure the system is in runlevel 3 by executing the command "init 3" in the console. Once the system has confirmed that you are in runlevel 3, enter "sax2".
Select the following menu items:
Then select "Finish", "Finalize", and "Save". Finally, enter "init 5" in the console. The X server or KDM will now start and the previously-missing key will be now operative.

console. Once the system has confirmed that you are in runlevel 3, open the file
/etc/X11/XF86Config with an editor of your choice, for example, pico
/etc/X11/XF86Config
.
Search for Section "InputDevice" and change the line
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"to
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Save the changes and quit.
After entering "init 5", the X server will start and the previously-missing key should now work properly.
