4.2 Hotkeys
I got some of the Fn+Cursor-keys to work by doing some work within /etc/X11/xkb/symbols; it worked fine for me in the first set up (Ubuntu 8.04 amd64) though it kind of stopped working when I re-installed to 8.10 x86. What's working for me at the moment is the Play/Pause hotkey (globally; associated in amarok's global shortcuts) and the Previous/Next Track/Stop keys (only with amarok focussed).
Here's a couple of pieces which still need assembling for a fully functional piece of advice:
I created the file /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/lenovo-thinkpad-r61i-hotkeys with this content:
// Layout for Lenovo Thinkpad R61i's multimedia keys // // $XFree86: xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols/lenovo-thinkpad-r61i-hotkeys,v 0.1 2008/11/14 19:00:34 Pumba Exp $ default partial xkb_symbols "audio" { key <I20> { [ XF86AudioMute ] }; key <I2E> { [ XF86AudioLowerVolume ] }; key <I30> { [ XF86AudioRaiseVolume ] }; // Play, Pause key <I22> { [ XF86AudioPlay ] }; // Previous track key <I10> { [ XF86AudioPrev ] }; // Next track key <I19> { [ XF86AudioNext ] }; // Stop key <I24> { [ XF86AudioStop ] }; };
Then I edited "my" language's file in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols (the one that looks like your country code, probably) to include the lines I just wrote:
[...] default xkb_symbols "basic" { include "latin(type4)" include "lenovo-thinkpad-r61i-hotkeys(audio)" [...] };
If I could only remember how I figured out the "key <I#>" part... It had something to do with xev and comparing with some other files...
4.2.1 Hotkeys that worked out-of-the-box
anyway, here's the keys that worked ootb for me:
Fn+Page Up -- small light on the edge of the screen. Seems to be built into the hardware
Fn+Pos 1 Fn+End -- increase/dim screen brightness (KDE) Fn+Roll -- Num lock/enables "numeric keypad"
Fn+F5 -- Bluetooth (plus Wireless?)
Fn+F12 -- Suspend to RAM
