Yes. And I was told to not do it in the kernel when possible, so I will map by default only what is marked and working on a vast majority. Otherwise, I'd need a big quirk db, based on what is silk-screened on the keyboards. HAL is welcome to remap the keys to whatever it wants, based on model-specific fdi files. > > And I could not find the proper keycode for "switch output video port", yet. > > Yes, that's a good point.

Well, that one I will add as soon as I get it :-) All thinkpads I know the keyboard layout have FN+F7 mapped to "switch output video port". But I have seen a lot of non-thinkpad notebooks with "set output port to LCD" and "set output port to vga out" keys as well. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
