I'm trying to reply to Ken, but keep getting tons of Java errors, so I am going to reply here instead:

I just looked on Sourceforge http://fnfx.sourceforge.net/ and see that project is for Toshiba and it looks Linux, but I guess you are saying there is similar for other makes and Solaris. The BIOS is version R0111N0 I found some information on this BIOS when I googled. http://tjworld.net/snc/ the BIOS is mentioned there against the laptop I have Sony VAIO VGN-SZ4XWN/C They keyboard has a key marked 'Fn' That does the following with these keys in Windows F1 - unknown F2 - mutes/unmutes speaker F3 - reduce volume F4 - increase volume F5 - decrease brightness F6 - increase brightness F7, F10 and F12. All do something, but I don't know what the symbols actually mean. F7 looks to be something to do with the LCD display, but I dont know. If you can suggest a tool which can be made to allows those key combinations to do similar under Solaris, it would be useful.
