==Tablet Hardware Buttons==<br />
The X41 tablet PC includes hardware buttons located on the<br />
LCD screen bezel. They are designed to be used when the Thinkpad is<br />
converted to the tablet configuration (though they are still<br />
accessible when in the laptop configuration).<br />
<br />
According to the IBM/Lenovo [http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/thinkpad/xseries/tablet/ website]:<br />
<br />
X41 Tablet hardware buttons include: power with sliding lock, Cltr-Alt-Del[sic], Page up, Page down, <br />
Enter, Escape, Screen Rotation, and a Tablet shortcut menu<br />
<br />
==Linux Support==<br />
The hardware buttons (except power) are recognized by the standard atkbd kernel driver which emits the following scancodes:<br />
<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"<br />
! Key !! Scancode<br />
|-<br />
| Page up || 0x6D<br />
|-<br />
| Page down || 0x6E<br />
|-<br />
| Enter || 0x69<br />
|-<br />
| Esc || 0x6B<br />
|-<br />
| Toolbox || 0x68<br />
|-<br />
| Rotate || 0x6C<br />
|-<br />
| (Unlabeled) || 0x67<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The utility setkeycodes(8) can be used to map these scancodes to keycodes. For example, the following command will map the page up and page down buttons to their respective keys:<br />
<br />
{{cmdroot|setkeycodes 6e 109 6d 104}}<br />
