Is this on the console?  I'm using one on my Q700 under X and the arrow
keys work just fine.  However, the console just might be a different
story.  From time to time, I've noticed that they cause problems.  I'm not
sure of a solution outside of the kernel, but I'd recommend just using X
unless you have a strong reason not to do so.  Alternatively, I think that
the 'dt' utility should handle an extended keyboard just fine as well.  If
I get a chance, I'm going to come up with a slightly more permanent
solution for this one.

Later.
