  • Had to drop to other console, wipe partition table with fdisk before cfdisk would work

I am running a small-ish graphical Arch, using LXDE as my DE and Compiz as my WM. The entire system is on 3Gig of a cheap little 4 Gig mini-USB flashdrive.

Fn Keycodes

The Aspire One US keyboard when operating under WinXP has a number of special keys which are accessed by holding down the Function/Fn key and the relevant key. Some of these operate under Arch as well, but most do not.

Fn+ Data
Fn+ Action in WinXP Console Keycode/Effect X Keycode/Effect
Left Arrow LCD Brighten 112; works OOB but also types "?" character No symbol; works OOB
Down Arrow Volume Down 114 XF86AudioLowerVolume
Right Arrow LCD Dim 118; works OOB but also types "?" character plusminus; works OOB but also types +/- symbol
Pg Up Home 102 Home
Up Arrow Volume Up 115 XF86AudioRaiseVolume
Pg Dn End 107 End
m Keypad 0 82; works with NumLk on with Fn gives KP_Insert; works with NumLk on
. Keypad . 83; works with NumLk on with Fn gives KP_Delete; works with NumLk on
/ Keypad + 78; works with NumLk on works
j Keypad 1 79; works with NumLk on with Fn gives KP_End; works with NumLk on
k Keypad 2 80; works with NumLk on with Fn gives KP_Down; works with NumLk on
l Keypad 3 81; works with NumLk on with Fn gives KP_Next; works with NumLk on
 ; Keypad - 74; works with NumLk on with Fn gives KP_; works with NumLk on
u Keypad 4 75; works with NumLk on with Fn gives KP_Left; works with NumLk on
l Keypad 5 76; works with NumLk on with Fn gives KP_Begin; works with NumLk on
o Keypad 6 77; works with NumLk on with Fn gives KP_Right; works with NumLk on
p Keypad * 55; works with NumLk on works
7 Keypad 7 71;
8 Keypad 8 72;
9 Keypad 9 73;
0 Keypad / 98;
F1 Launch Fn key help None
F2 Launch System Properties None
F3 Launch Power Options None
F4 Sleep Mode None
F5 Toggle to external display 225
F6 Turn off LCD backlight Works OOB
F7 Turn touchpad off/on Works OOB
F8 Mute/unmute None
F11 NumLk None; works (including LED)
F12 Scr Lk None

As you can see, some of the stuff Just Works and some of the stuff (Fn+F1,F2,F3) will never work, since it doesn't produce a keycode of any sort. I used Compiz keybindings deal with the things in the middle and to compensate for the things that won't ever work.
