Hi, I'm currently using the latest FreeBSD 6.1 patchlevel on an IBM Thinkpad T23, and so far I'm quite happy with it. (I'll have an issue with my ath-based WLAN-NIC, but I've to address this later.) One thing I'm wondering about is if it is possible to use the fn-Key as another special key in X, e.g. like Control or Alt. I'm using ion3 as a window manager, and I found know hotkey configuration that wouldn't affect the usage of hotkeys in applications. Using fn+<something else> with X/ion3 would be nice. But I don't know if fn sends a scan code like the other keys do, and how I could map this key in X. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Christian
