this may help you
make sure your keyboard configuration in /etc/conf.d/keymaps is set to windowskey.

the windowskey can't be the problem, i have it set to NO and i have no problems. make sure you have the right keymap. the wrong one can cause some strange things (i've once set a sun keymap on my U60 and series 5 kb and it cause all the keys to work incredibly strangely).
Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

ok, that means you screwed up somewhere in installing gentoo
sunaries set to set the keyboard up in a less sensitive way, and i think he has the right idea. i just don't know how to do it. try www.google.com/linux and searching for "reduce keyboard sensitivity" or something like that. it might turn up something/Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
