Keyboard Acer eMachines E527

Hello,
I have an eMachines E527 laptop with SuSE 11.3.
The hardware information from YaST tells me that the keyboard is "AT Translated Set 2 Keyboard(/dev/input/event0/)
The problem I have is that the keyboard does not react, that is highlight a section when pressing ‘Shift+Home’, ‘Shift+End’, etc.
These functions perform as should be when a USB keyboard is attached - on the attached keyboard, not the laptop keyboard.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks,
Dick Davis
