They same keys have no use for the Toshiba Tecra M2 as well.

Could you reboot into the original operating system that came with the computer
and document exactly what each of the keys do.

This should be detailed enough to be called a 'specification' and preferably not
make assumptions. If there are multiple states, please try to be clear about
how the different statest interact.

Without that detailed information, it's a little difficult to work out what the
equivalents in Ubuntu would be, or how to write them!

Secondly, do the keys produce X keypress events; or ACPI HKEY events, or
neither (you maybe able to find this out by using tools such as 'xev' or tailing
'/var/log/acpid.0.log'.

Many Thanks, -Paul

f10/f12 - I cannot seem to deduce function in Windows. Jerome, you have better luck?

-Fn+1/2 zoom in and out in the currently selected application

-The toshiba key launches a custom control panel. Can a key press open a menu?
If so, we could have it open System-->Administration
