Do you mean 1.6.1?

Still not quite sure what you are encountering - in tuxmath 1.6.1, you should 
get a menu page with the top entry being "Math Command Training Academy" (if 
your locale is French, it should read "Ecole d'entrainement au Math").

If you click on that entry or select it with the keyboard, you should get a 
list of lessons, the first being "Number Typing" ("Taper un nombre").

If you select that, you should get the easiest lesson in the game itself, with 
the comets coming down.  Look at the screenshots on the Alioth site.

When you enter numbers, they should appear in the penguins LED-style "monitor" 
at the bottom of the screen.  On a regular keyboard, either the numeric 
keypad or the numbers above the letter rows work, and you can use either of 
the two "enter" keys or the spacebar to enter the answer. 

If you get to the game and none of these work, maybe the Asus eee has some 
weird Xorg setup that isn't recognized correctly by SDL, but I really don't 
see how that could be the case if TuxType works, because they both rely on 
the same SDL key events.

Please feel free to post further info - TuxMath is definitely something I 
would like to have work on the eee.  I might not be able to figure much out 
without having access to an actual machine, however.  Maybe I should get one 
for my daughter...
