Hey guys,

I'm trying to make my blue Fn =
key combinations control by MPD server on the Raspberry Pi sitting on my =
speakers.  This should be really easy with xbindkeys.  I'm following this=
 document:
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys
<=
br />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 se=
nd 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 sc=
ancode.

When I do Fn + F8 (a blue monitor symbol) I get the sc=
ancode "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 r=
ecognizing the scancode that the keyboard is sending?  Does that sound ri=
ght?  Is there something in the kernel that I should
change?  I didn't see anything that looked relevant under keyboard driver=
s.

On an old laptop of mine I had to use ACPI to get the events from s= ome of those.
This might be a similar situation.
