Do the H, J, K and L keys move the cursor left, up, down, etc.? If that works then that will get you by until you replace that keyboard or try another keyboard emulation. Look in xorg.config, Input Device to check on keyboard type such as pc 101, 104..but watch out if you change the pc type because you may end up with no keyboard at all. If do decide change the device type be sure to copy the xorg.conf file in case you need to recover it.
