Thanks, I'll check it out.
Actually, none of the number keys work in X. I even switched the WM back to the original icewm and the same thing. I can't believe no one else has had this exact problem. I used the debian eabi rootfs tarball in the sticky thread. I tried renaming dillo to see if that lets me type a "1" but then nothing happens when it is pressed. And I think the "!" launches something else.
EDIT: Actually, looks like it may just be the terminal doing it. xfce4-terminal, maybe it uses a different keymap or something?
