Have a look at ibm_acpi (http://ibm-acpi.sourceforge.net/) . There are
also examples how to configure the fn-f*.
Here is the code I execute during system startup:
ibm_settings() {
if [ ! -d /proc/acpi/ibm ] ; then
modprobe ibm_acpi experimental=1 hotkey=enable,0x090c
fi
# if [ -d /proc/acpi/ibm ] ; then
# 0x080c is default, we want also
# f9 for hibernate-reboot
echo 0x090c > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
echo enable >/proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
# fi
}
which activates fn + f3, f4, f9, f12.
Hope this helps
