FIXED - sort of.

I just upgraded BIOS and kernel, and was still having trouble. I
discovered the following restores FN-Home/End functionality as long as
it's run _after_ X starts... No dice if I put it in /etc/rc.local, and I
can't change permission of a /proc file to let .xinitrc do it:

# Happy times are here until reboot!
sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart

It looks like this has been around a while:
