AHA!  I'd tried pressing the Fn key at the same time as the others and 
it didn't work.  Pressing and holding it first and then the other 
three together works.




Ain't technology wonderful(ly frustrating)?

Is your keyboard one of those that you have to press some Fn key to
make the f'n function keys work?

That's what I'd  have expected.  I'm using a new Gateway laptop and when 
I checked the Gateway website, there are no support forums or contact 
forms, just a chat module that took so long to get a human on the  line 
that I gave up.  I seriously doubt that anybody who'd answered would 
have the faintest idea what I was talking about, let alone what to do 
about it.

Oh, I tested this in an XFCE spin in a  VM and it works fine.
