XEV not returning keyboard scancode for particular key... I've
just bought myself a new toy! I got a wireless (RF) 'multimedia'
keyboard and mouse combo setup. I downloaded Lineak to use the
little row of buttons along the top, and I must admit that
Lineak works extraordinarily well! I'm impressed. The lineak
documentation suggests using xev to discover the scancodes for
these buttons... which it duly did. However, I also have an
extra button on the keyboard itself, not as part of the
'multmedia' setup. It's just below the enter key, to the right
of the right-hand shift, and above the right-hand ctrl, and is
labelled 'Fn'. Running xev and pressing this key has no effect
what-so-ever. I was wondering if anyone knows how to discover
keyboard scancodes in any other way? Oh, and BTW, this key also
seems to be functionless under Windows. I had considered simply
removing both it and the shift key n
