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.

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.
