===Tablet Hardware Buttons===<br />
The X41 Tablet 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 />
The X41 Tablet hardware buttons include{{footnote|1}}:<br />
*Power (with sliding lock)<br />
*Cltr-Alt-Del [sic]<br />
*Page up<br />
*Page down, <br />
*Enter<br />
*Escape<br />
*Screen Rotation<br />
*Tablet shortcut menu<br />
</div><br />
|}<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 !! X41 Scancode || {{X60t}} Scancode<br />
|-<br />
| Page up || 0x6D || NA<br />
|-<br />
| Page down || 0x6E || NA<br />
|-<br />
| Enter || 0x69 || 0x69<br />
|-<br />
| Esc || 0x6B || 0x6B<br />
|-<br />
| Toolbox || 0x68 || 0x68<br />
|-<br />
| Rotate || 0x6C || 0x6c<br />
|-<br />
| (Unlabeled) || 0x67 || NA<br />
|-<br />
| Right || NA || 0x6D <br />
|-<br />
| Left || NA || 0x6E <br />
|-<br />
| Up || NA || 0x71 <br />
|-<br />
| Down || NA || 0x6F <br />
|-<br />
<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The utility setkeycodes can be used to map these scancodes to keycodes. Read {{cmduser|man setkeycodes}} for usage.<br />
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 />
<br />
