This should be really easy with xbindkeys. I'm following this document: http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys The problem I have is that the Fn key combinations on my laptop aren't all sending scancodes. I understand that the Fn key itself doesn't send a scancode. I'm using Fn + Down Arrow (a blue play/pause symbol), but xev doesn't register it. Even when running showkey -s, I can't get a scancode. When I do Fn + F8 (a blue monitor symbol) I get the scancode "0xe0 0x56 0xe0 0xd6" so the key itself is working. And I can use Fn + F1 (Zz) to hibernate. So I'm thinking the kernel isn't recognizing the scancode that the keyboard is sending? Does that sound right? Is there something in the kernel that I should change? I didn't see anything that looked relevant under keyboard drivers. Randy
