Getting hotkeys to work
The lenovo-sl-laptop driver enables the volume buttons and most of the Fn+ hotkeys, and fixes the brightness controls. See this page on ThinkWiki for installation instructions.
Following are my observations of what does and doesn't work after installing the driver (in Ubuntu 9.04):
- volume up, down and mute keys work
- Lenovo Care button doesn't work
- Fn+Esc (Break) doesn't work
- Fn+Space (magnify) doesn't work
Fn+F1 (SysRq) doesn't work, launches the Save Screenshot app instead
- Fn+F2 (lock screen) works
- Fn+F3 (power options) doesn't work
- Fn+F4 (sleep) works
- Fn+F5 (toggle wireless) doesn't work
- Fn+F6 (print screen) works, launches the Save Screenshot app
- Fn+F7 (toggle display) seems to work (display flashes, haven't tested with external monitor yet)
Fn+F8 (UltraNav) doesn't work
Fn+F9 (EasyEject) ejects optical drive
- Fn+F11 (Pause) - not sure how to test this. Suggestions?
- Fn+F12 (hibernate) works
- Fn+Insert (Scroll Lock) doesn't work
- Fn+Delete (Num Lock) works
- Fn+Home (decrease brightness) works
- Fn+End (increase brightness) works
- Fn+arrow keys all work
