So Fn key has the same keycode on some Thinkpads as the Menu key on other Thinkpads? How should I fix this mess?
No, it doesn't.
All [AGRZTX][2-4][0-2]* ThinkPads only have the Fn key. It, when held for more than two seconds or released without a combination key, will send the standard WakeUp scancode, which the kernel will happily pass on.
Is the latter one really such a great idea? This behavior may meet the expectation of the person who has implemented it but the average user may get rather confused if the Fn key generates a key event that he doesn't expect in a fashion which different from normal keyboard behavior. I expect that this 'feature' will be reported as a bug. It works around a deficiency like the horrid middle button klude we do for the mouse. But while live in X without a middle button is hard the lack of a menu button may be acceptable. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
