Bizarre keybindings on LG Optimus Slider

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open app on Optimus Slider
2. Open an SSH session
3. Attempt to type some non-alphabetical characters (e.g. with the Fn key)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The Fn keys should produce the following, in terms of the map of the keyboard:
    123456789_
    #$%^&*()/:"
     ~\|<>`!+
Instead, it is the following:
    *123+%&$()-
    #456-[]"';;
     789=<>!`=

In addition other non-Fn, non-alpha keys do not work as intended.
   ? =/= `

Lastly, some keys have Fn functions when they should not. For example Fn+. == 
':', though it is not marked. Fn+@ == '0', and so forth.

What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
-> About in the Host List)?

1.7.1 2010.10.08

What type of system are you trying to connect to?

The problem is reproduceable for all systems I've tried: home PC, netbook, 
Godaddy server, school server, etc.

If you are able to connect, what is the output of "echo $TERM", "uname -a",
and any other relevant information on the host?

Not applicable

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm not sure if this is purposeful, but it makes it difficult to, for example, 
enter a sudo password when you cannot see the keys being entered and they are 
not labeled correctly.

I am running into it on the Sprint LG Mach which I believe is a sister device. 
It prevents entering the star key and the dash key which makes it real near 
impossible to use UNIX CLI. You have to copy paste the chars from other apps. 
Ouch!
