Hello Jerry, Thank you for your e-mail. I have tried to get the equivalent functions of the function key on my vaio within KDE and have failed. I cannot adjust the screen brightness within KDE. For the volume however, I can use ALSA mixer. This was why I was after sonypi as it would enable me to use the Fn+F4/F5 combination to adjust the screen brightness. cheers JT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
