[ltp] Fn-F8 key combination on Thinkpads

[Ashish V. Thapliyal]

Perhaps this is well known, in which case sorry to bother you.

I just discovered that on pressing the key combination Fn-F8
on one of the text consoles makes the text mode use the full
screen. I wonder if this is a well known Thinkpad feature.
When I try this key sequence with X running strange things happen
like the screen shows only one quarter of the full desktop.

I have a TP 770E (9548) running RHAT 6.0, Kernel 2.2.10, pcmcia 3.0.14. However
this key sequence works on a co-worker's TP 600 too.


Thanks,
Ashish.
