Hi all! After a recent BIOS update to A20 (I did all the ones in between as well) my blue Fn key no longer gets passed through to the BIOS. I used to be able to pull up the battery status (Fn-F3) and enter the setup (Fn-F1) etc but now it does nothing. xev reports the same keycode for the button

I just tried recompiling the kernel with CONFIG_FILTER set and now dhclient also works. I must have overlooked something when trying that option before. Anyway, so the mistery is solved. :-) Auke On Sun, 2002-10-27 at 21:22, Hubert Chan wrote: > > "Auke" == Auke Jilderda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]
