    Is it possible to emulate the Fn key on a USB keyboard?

    I never tried it on my m11x. But sometimes notebooks make use of the SCROLL LOCK as replacement for the Fn key. Try it and see if it works.

    Don't think it's possible.

    Have a standard usb desktop keyboard and use it on my M11x, but never found a way to emulate the Fn key sequence.

    But you never known.
