Yeah, through the iterations of trials, I changed configurations several times, the earlier post is what I got when I didn't select an option. I think I saw a comment in earlier posts from you that it shouldn't look that way and still another point about selecting the alt-shift option, so I just ended up with that.

I looked the other day and tried altering and/or removing various FDI files including getting my lshal to report pc105 for the input.xkb.model value too, but for some reason, I was still getting the default Nokia keyboard behavior. However, I didn't look that deep: mostly looking for nokiarx51 references rather than input and button references. Any recommendations as to anything in particular I should I be looking for as I search for them?

Thanks for the help thus far.
