 |
|
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 |

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.
