John, Thank you for your report. Just to make sure I did understand it right: if you press the Fn key *alone*, with no other keys, your thinkpad issues event 0x6005. Is that correct? Also, when you press Fn+<some other key>, does it issue event 0x6005 at all? Does it issue the event when you press the key, when you release the key, or both? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
