Keyboard Function Buttons--Specifically HP dv8000

[Larry Hartman]

Luka:

I have a WIKI account, but have not yet learned how to mess about in the WIKI 
formatting.  I appreciate the invite to do so, but at risk of messing up your 
page I thought it prudent to just respond to this and allow you or someone 
else to input the data.  My WIKI username is LarryHartman.

In the process of getting these results, I did learn how to setup my 
Calculator button to bring up the Calculator--which was my primary goal--so 
thank you very much for the challenge.  I hope this data helps your project.

Larry

NOTES on HP Quickplay Buttons:
The two most difficult buttons to resolve will be the two HP Quickplay 
buttons, they return no codes on any tool provided in your websites.  When 
the laptop is off, pressing these buttons will boot the computer into a 
separate Linux partition that HP has setup to run DVDs/CDs without booting 
into the main software.  When the laptop is booted in MS Windows, these 
buttons are fully programmable via HP's Quickplay software.
