I did not try 2.6.15, but with earlier kernels pressing "fn" was noticed neither by xev under X11 nor by showkeys on the console. Therefore you cannot map fn+something combinationsto anything useful, neither under X11 nor on the console. On PowerBooks the usual combinations to get pageup, pagedown etc. involve the fn-key and thus you have to do either without pageup, pagedown, home and end keys, or at least use key combinations which are different from the MacOS ones. Using, let's say, mutt under these conditions can be quite a challenge. I hope this helps, Jochen PS.: To answer the question you did not ask: the thing which is "working" is (according to rumours, see the list archives), that with an unpatched kernel and some super-secret (not yet in CVS?) versions of Xorg you seemingly can get keyboard events from the fn-key under X11. -- http://seehuhn.de/
