    I have been to the drivers and downloads page, but can't seem to get the on screen display to work. Which download contains the on screen display program?

    does anyone know what driver/utility allows the Fn+ End key to work? I'm not sure what it does but I can't find it.

    That should be the the power manager software (not the drive one). To get fn+f8 working you should install the ultranav software.

    You need to use the OEM Graphics Driver in combination with Hotkeys Integration suggested by AboutThreeFitty for the OSD to work. Using a generic driver from the vendor (or Windows) directly will not have Lenovo's Hotkeys implementation for it to work.

    I'm stuck exactly where the OP was stuck. I have the graphics driver installed and the hot keys driver installed (it gives me 4 choices during install, auto scroll, system interface, osd, and magnifier- I checked all). But upon rebooting, FN+F5 doesn't work and OSD doesn't work.

    I'm getting quite frustrated with this laptop right now. Any tips?

    EDIT: Looks like it's not even running the service. I'm at a complete loss for ideas.

    EDIT2: Even though I swear I installed the power management DRIVER multiple times, apparently it didn't. I finally uninstalled all drivers, rebooted, and reinstalled them all one by one starting with power manager, then power management driver, then hotkey driver. After rebooting, it finally worked.

    I'm still having problem with my 2x2 802.11a/b/g/n. It's still not functioning.
