This MAY be standard for ThinkPads, but there's in general little stan- darization among notebooks. Some Dells, for instance, use F8, while others use Fn-F2. I think I have a really old Dell around here somewhere that uses a third combination. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find that ThinkPads aren't all alike in this. There's nothing like standardization, and this is nothing like standardi- zation. -- Jerry Dunham FreeBSD Atarian ordinaire jdunham@fc.net (512)335-0674 (H) Gerald_Dunham@dell.com (512)728-4026 (O) E Pluribus Unix To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
