Lenovo IdeaCentre A-300 monoblock keyboard in linux

Question

linux

Lord!

I ask for help if anyone came across.

I bought a Lenovo IdeaCentre A-300 monoblock some time ago, everything is good: stylish, comfortable, productive, etc.
By default, Windows 7 is installed, I decided to put Nix as the second system. Put. Everything seemed to be fine, but only two problems - wifi and keyboard (wireless).

It’s not so important with wifi (in linux mint it still worked) - I’m sitting through the wire, but the trouble is with the keyboard: everything works fine, fn, multimedia keys also work, but shift, control, alt don’t work in combination with others . This means that if I press, for example, ctrl + S, then just s is printed, if I press alt, the menu is activated, but further pressing Tab does not switch windows, but makes a tabulation. That is, pressing the buttons does not work, as if I do not hold the key, but immediately release it and press another.

Accordingly, the window switcher, layouts, hot keys, etc. do not work for me - it is simply unrealistic to work.

Googling really did not lead to anything, it only became clear that lenovo with keyboards in Linux always had problems. None of the suggested solutions help. I tried different distributions - fedora, ubuntu, mint, mandriva - everywhere the same trouble.
If I connect a regular usb keyboard, everything works fine, but I don’t want to buy a new keyboard and throw out the current one - somehow this is wrong, especially since I really like the standard keyboard.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I would be very grateful.

Thanks

What does the xev command show? If you press ctrl, alt, etc. with it running?
