Tablet Hardware Buttons
The X41 tablet PC includes hardware buttons located on the LCD screen bezel. They are designed to be used when the Thinkpad is converted to the tablet configuration (though they are still accessible when in the laptop configuration).
According to the IBM/Lenovo website:
X41 Tablet hardware buttons include: power with sliding lock, Cltr-Alt-Del[sic], Page up, Page down,
Enter, Escape, Screen Rotation, and a Tablet shortcut menu
Linux Support
The hardware buttons (except power) are recognized by the standard atkbd kernel driver which emits the following scancodes:
| Key | Scancode |
|---|---|
| Page up | 0x6D |
| Page down | 0x6E |
| Enter | 0x69 |
| Esc | 0x6B |
| Toolbox | 0x68 |
| Rotate | 0x6C |
| (Unlabeled) | 0x67 |
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:
# setkeycodes 6e 109 6d 104
