Thank you Brix,
sorry for being so ignorant on modules :( currently my ibm_acpi is 
built-in the kernel and not loaded as a module.

I have seen that I can enable the key by echoing enable and 0xffff to 
/proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey

But maybe it would be "cleaner" if I recompile the kernel with ibm_acpi 
as a module and load the module with /etc/modules ?? And how do I add 
the option you specify in this file ?

What is your opinion ?

Again thank you
Bob

PS Do you have a sample script catching the Fn+F12 and/or using Fn+F5 to 
cycvle through internal and external video ?
