Hello,
In fedora 24, I observe a different behavior than under fc22. I am using a french keyboard (alternative) The key "page down" generates a KP_End and the key "page up" generates a KP_Home while "end" generates a End and "home" generates a Home I would have expect a KP_Prior or a KP_Next.
When a make a man the key "page down" and "end" give the same result: End the key "page up" and "home" give the same result: Home
It means that I do not have any page up or page down with man. Also, the numerical pad does not help either because the KP_Prior does the same as a Home, and KP_Next does a End
Any clue?
Thank

It sounds like the keyboard mapping was altered via a cut and paste, and it wasn't edited. That is, there is an error in the keymapping. Is there another independent French keymapping you can try? If so, try it and see if the pgup and pgdown keys work as expected.
The keymaps are located in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols. After a quick look, I think your problem resides in the keypad file. But there are lots of nested includes there, so you'll have to do any further search. You should open a bugzilla if you find the problem, which is probably duplicate assigned keys.

PS The package to open the ticket against is xkeyboard-config
Thank,
It works a lot better with legacy, alternative.

Then I think you should open a bugzilla against xkeyboard-config, putting in the information from your original post, and the fact that the french legacy keymapping doesn't have the problem. That will flag that a fix of the alternative version is needed.
