    I have a 6920 and I made my back up disks and installed windows XP. I've managed to track down most of the drivers and the laptop functions perfectly with XP HE. The only issue i'm having now is that the dimmer (FN + right or left arrow) no longer works to lower the light intensity from the screen. I've tried lowering the brightness lvl via the video driver interface makes but it just make things look horrible. Any suggestions?

    you need to find the hotkey driver application, as XP doesn't have native support for lots of laptops brightness keys.

    Any hints as to where I should look? All my other hot keys are working just fine but I don't know where I could either edit or add to them
