I can change with Fn+F3, F4, F5, F6 volume and brightness, I get the blue message as before telling me that brightness and volume changes (yet the Fn-keys to use are not the ones suggested by my keybord, which has for example only one volume-key (F4) and not F4 (quiter) and F5 (louder). And the touchpad-wheel behaves correctly. > > what is missing currently?
