Listmates, I am trying to understand where the key bindings are made for laptop function keys and I am running into dead ends. The strangeness is that a fresh 10.3 install on a Toshiba p205d laptop left the laptop unable to manually change the screen brightness with the function key combinations. (FN + F6 -- lowers brightness, FN + F7 -- increase brightness). These key combinations had always worked with other Toshiba laptops, without additional key mapping utilities from 10.2 on. I have googled, joined various Toshiba-Linux user lists, manually searched through the toshutils source code and still I have little understanding on how or where the FN + F# key combinations are created. Adding to the strangeness, I installed another hard drive in the laptop and installed a new copy of 11.0. Magically, the screen brightness key combinations started working. No special key mapping software installed, just as the keys had always worked from 10.2 on. That solves the immediate problem, but my backup drive with the 10.3 install still suffers from the problem. Does anybody have any insight into where these laptop key combinations are hidden or a guess as to why they were non-functional on the last 10.3 install while on the exact same laptop with 11.0 they work as they should? I still have the 10.3 install on a separate disk and I would like to solve that problem if possible to have a working back-up, without the over-bright screen. Thanks for any insight you can offer. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
