	I know this subject has been discussed before, but then I wasn't
interested; but now, after a motherboard swap, I am!!
	With a 12/89 Chips & Technologies BIOS in a 20Mhz 386DX Gateway 2000
microcomputer, suddenly the right-hand Control and Alt keys, and the cursor
positioning keys (upper and lower sets) to the left of the numeric keypad,
don't work.  Using the WM_CHAR message display program included with the
MS OS/2 PM toolkit v.1.1, different scan codes are given than with using
the previous motherboard (AMI BIOS), although it's the same keyboard.  The
virtual identifier given was just a set of minus signs (not the ctrl or alt
usually given).
	I looked in the config.sys, but can't find any specifications or
driver to do with the keyboard.  Do I need a new BIOS (probably)?  Has C&T
upgraded since 12/89?
	So, can anybody help?

Thanks in advance!
