Hi Cindy, I am aware of the settings in BIOS. That is not the problem. As I already mentioned, the change of primary and secondary function is working.
(I called this "level" change, maybe it was not teh correct expresion). No, thwe problem is, the windowmanager or the system itself does not recognize the code or suppresses it somehow. Do not know, what really happens. Hans > Hi.. In case you haven't found it yet, some laptops (not all) have a > BIOS setting that changes that function.
