DELL L100 Keyboard not work with Ubuntu

I have a virtual machine running Ubuntu Linux with VMware Player at my Windows XP desktop. The keyboard model is L100 by DELL. However, at Ubuntu applications, such as Terminal and Text Editors, some keystroke generates invisible characters. For example, '/' is shown as '=E9'. Under "System" -> "Preference" -> "Keyboard", for Tab "Layout", I chose "Dell" as Vendor, and "Dell" as Model. However, it didn't solve the problem. Then I tried all models under Dell, and none of them work! Anybody has a solution for me? Thanks!
