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)"
[...]
};
The <Isomething>-part comes from X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86 - compare xev | grep keycode's output with this file to find the <I##> code...
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
4.2.2 Hotkeys that generated an event but did not work ootb
Fn+F2 -- Lock Screen (generates event: XF86AudioMute)
Fn+F4 -- Sleep (generates event: XF86Sleep)
Fn -- when being held for "a moment": generates event "XF86WakeUp"
