Details on the specific laptop and your desktop environment would
certainly bring better help - all laptop manufacturers have different
hotkey usage, and some desktop env's have some built-in widgets you
might find easier to use.  That said, I have a Lenovo T60, and found
some good documentation [0] on setting up the keys I wanted - some of
the configs on the page would also work on just about anything, if you
check the returned keycodes and configure your own specifics accordingly.

function key problem

2007-12-21 Thread Deephay 
Greetings all,

I have some problem with the function keys for a laptop: some
functions of the Fn+SOMEKEY are sometimes sofware-based, there are
drivers for them in Windows, but no for linux. I am wondering if there
a way to catch the key press event and then execute a program which is
determined by the event? Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
Deephay
