I cant seem to find a fix!Mark Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940069417785703179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970055329001593038.post-14414018560580485582009-11-06T06:43:55.586-08:002009-11-06T06:43:55.586-08:00I got one too, primarily so I could ditch the exte...I got one too, primarily so I could ditch the external mouse, and love it. Two things:<br />-- the Thinkvantage button, which I would like to use for play/pause (insofar as it's next to other music controls), shows up as a button event not key event, just as mentioned above.<br />-- I very often find myself capitalizing the first two letters of a word, not just the first. I don't know why this should happen more on that keyboard than on my actual Thinkpad.Allen Knutsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15616422252030334511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970055329001593038.post-33184916930319584132009-10-16T03:27:58.724-07:002009-10-16T03:27:58.724-07:00I just got one of these today to use while my thin...I just got one of these today to use while my thinkpad is up on a laptop stand and I'm loving it. Couple of things I've noticed:<br /><br />The thing shows up twice in "xinput list", but only one entry has all the xinput properties. Kinda weird.<br /><br />The Fn keys (e.g. Fn+F4 to suspend) send, according to xev, button events not key events. Very strange - not quite sure where to go next in terms of getting these working with X.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609587838044510781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970055329001593038.post-15117083985058003462009-09-21T23:17:31.357-07:002009-09-21T23:17:31.357-07:00@Allen: hmm, that looks like a picture of the old,...@Allen: hmm, that looks like a picture of the old, larger, external ThinkPad keyboard. I wonder if it's been discontinued. The new one is under the "Keyboard and Mouse combo" category on the left.

They have a nice picture of it at the top, leading to "Unfortunately requested item was not available."
