** Description changed:
Updated June 3rd 2007 for Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn)
Output of 'dmidecode -s':
manufacturer = Compaq
system-name = COMPAQ N150
model = 0F02
These hotkeys don't work (from left to right on the keyboard):
hotkey 0xa3 = 'help' fails, image is of a large serif font letter 'i'
hotkey 0x9f = 'home' fails, image if of a house
hotkey 0x9a = 'search' fails, image is of a magnifying glass
hotkey 0x9e = 'email' fails, image is of a closed envelope
- Again those keys from left to right. I dropped to a terminal with FN+F1 and
typed 'sudo showkey -u | tee -a hotkey-log.txt'. I hit 'help' [spacebar] 'home'
[spacebar] 'search' [spacebar] 'email' [spacebar]. Ouput was:
- kb mode was UNICODE
- [clip]
- 0x9c
- 0x39
- 0xb9
- 0x39
- 0xb9
- 0x39
- 0xb9
+ I dropped to a terminal with FN+F1 and typed 'sudo showkey -u'. All the
+ keys I tried gave something, but the hotkeys got no response with this
+ command (just the first '0x9c' which is always there, even if I don't
+ press anything)
- So '0x39' must be the spacebar, I don't understand what '0x9c' could be
- . I tried it several times and it always starts with '0x9c' ('help')
+ They are physically separate keys, you can see them on this image as
+ small round silver keys at the top of the keyboard, directly under the
+ screen in the middle: http://www005.upp.so-net.ne.jp/crank-
+ in/DSCN15051.JPG
+ The dmesg output for those keys (comment 20) is:

- At the moment even x11 doesn't seem to recognise them, and I get no
- response from 'sudo showkey -u | tee -a hotkey-log.txt' only a warning
- about unicode support being experimental.
