Laptop Fn (Function) keys don't work.

[Budoka]

I have a new install on a Samsung AMD64 laptop. http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/laptops/NP700Z5B-S01UB-specs

I used Genkernel to compile the kernel. With the exception of the screen brightness, none of my Fn keys work. Not sure how to activate them.

Thanks

What other function keys are there?

I used play with setting up keys and buttons on a laptop. This is what you need. In particular, xev and lineakd.

It's odd that your fn->monitor key isn't working. I thought that was BIOS-handled. I've never had to do anything to make that work.
