Since the OP hasn't responded, I have the same problem on a Lenovo R500 laptop. Running as suggested produces this when the Fn key is pressed: [ 710.350] winTranslateKey: wParam 000000ff lParam 01630001 [ 710.350] winSendKeyEvent: dwKey: 99, fDown: 1, nEvents 3 [ 710.366] winTranslateKey: wParam 000000ff lParam c1630001 [ 710.366] winSendKeyEvent: dwKey: 99, fDown: 0, nEvents 2 and this when the Delete key is pressed: [ 730.240] winTranslateKey: wParam 0000002e lParam 01530001 [ 730.240] winSendKeyEvent: dwKey: 99, fDown: 1, nEvents 2 [ 730.349] winTranslateKey: wParam 0000002e lParam c1530001 [ 730.349] winSendKeyEvent: dwKey: 99, fDown: 0, nEvents 2 Phil -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
