   * If your backlight hotkeys are Fn+Left and Fn+Right, add kernel parameter atkbd.softraw=0 to /boot/grub/menu.lst . Then, switch to any console, e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1, login by root account and execute:<<BR>> {{{showkey -s}}} <<BR>> <<BR>> Then, press Fn+Left and Fn+Right key to check the code that shows up on screen. Post the results to the report. For example: <<BR>> <<BR>> Fn+Left: <<BR>> 0xe0 0x4c 0xe0 0xcc <<BR>> <<BR>> Fn+Right: <<BR>> 0xe0 0x54 0xe0 0xd4
