Then, hitting any key and waiting a moment or two will auto-connect it from that point forward. Ctrl works fine for me (full-sized iGo/ThinkOutside Stowaway Bluetooth) - perhaps you mean Fn? The layout on the N800 intercepts Fn and interprets it as a "right-click", so if you want to use any Fn-whatever key combinations (in light blue on the keyboard), you need to set up a small change. I saw the instructions either on this list or internettablettalk.com recently - I think they involved xmodmap, google shall certain find them. -- Ryan Pavlik AbiWord Win32 Platform Maintainer, Art Lead: www.abisource.com AbiWord Community Outreach Project: www.cleardefinition.com/oss/abi/blog/ "Optimism is the father that leads to achievement." -- Helen Keller "The folder structure in a modern Linux distribution such as Ubuntu was largely inspired by the original UNIX foundations that were created by men with large beards and sensible jumpers." -- Jono Bacon, The Ubuntu Guide
