I think this is still the right place. With Edgy, hopefully Kubuntu will be more a-like Ubuntu anyhow in regards to laptop keys (see [1]). > I have recently been given a Toshiba Satellite A70 from work and booted the > desktop cd of 6.06 on it.

I suspect this are HW keys and are controlled by BIOS or so - kernel does not get keypress event and therefore cannot handle it. At least this is what I have on HP nw8240 where Screen switch, brightness up/down/auto are implemented by HW. > How would I go about resolving it so the rest of the function keys would > work correctly? The rest of the function keys will be resolved according to KubuntuLaptopButtons specification [1] - with proper keycode -> keysym mapping and proper default action setup out-of-the-box on Kubuntu. You (and other Kubuntu Dapper/Edgy laptop users) can also help fill up this table [2].
