Mine is multilib, that's why I had to.

Yes normally. But doesn't seem to work for me. At the same time I see I've a problem with my speakup key: where's it? I use Insert (in the block Insert, pgup pgdn supp Home End), is it here? If it is not, where is it on keypad? If it is, in my terminal, I can't combine 2 keys: when I do it, Insert is ont recogniued (either it generates a [[2~ sign, either, if I do ins+t, I get a t written on screen). So ins+3 of keypad acts as 3 key alone. How can I do?
