Hi,
If this is completely out of contest, the moderators may delete it without warnings.

I have facing this strange problem. I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop and I use Fedora Core 8 via VMWare on it.
The problem is that when I try to write any code I am unable to use the " and ' characters through the keyboard.
All other keys seem to be working fine but when I press the afore mentioned key, nothing appears and on pressing it twice a weird replica of the ' or " characters appear which seem to be slant and unrecognized by all compilers and interpreters of course.
Has anybody faced this problem? If so, please suggest a solution.
The Keyboard settings are fine.
