As for your wireless button, you can do the same as above, write it in a script, and keybind it. While the specific keybind key may not be changeable, you can literally pick any other default keys to keybind instead. I'm not sure about the fan speed thingy, it sounds like you either need a better kernel module (kind of like an external, optional, secondary driver from the kernel's more primary drivers, if using windows language), or a poor setting in UEFI. It could also be a bad UEFI version that requires UEFI to be updated, but you may want to try other fixes before updating your UEFI, which can go wrong if not done properly, bricking your laptop's motherboard. But perhaps you have done it before, in which case, it's less dangerous if you know what you get yourself into here. But try see if you can find a kernel moduel first for your CPU/motherboard, try google any Linux systems using your hardware, this is not something unique to Qubes, but may likely appear on any number of Linux systems using this hardware. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
