    Hi,

    Im using linux in GATE MX3562 PM 375 laptop. I want to set the Fn key to work in linux with my own choice options. So i used xev command to find the keycode of Fn key. But when i pressed the keys Fn+ F9,F10,F11,F12 i got the same keycode. How can i rectify this error?

    Regards,
    Anitha..
