> Greetings and salutations, > > Is there anything I can do to get Fn key functionality on > my Dell E1405 notebook? port the nice linux i8ktools to freebsd before i do :-) i started last weekend (i only have hxring time on the weekends) and i am sure that i will eventually finish it successfully if somebody else doesnt do it first. i dont know if it will look much like the linux version when i am finished, it makes use of the proc filesystem. we do have a proc filesystem that we can kldload, but i am not sure how robust it is and i dont want to be requiring an additional kld if my code would be the only one using it. it also uses a kernel timer to manage checking the keystrokes, i am not sure if i wanna do that, i'd rather limit the kernel part to be limited to the creation of /dev/smm and let the rest of the stuff happen in a daemon, but i havent gotten far enuf along to have a coherent opinion ( i just finally got the assembly code working to the point where i can get the bios version back - banal, but critical :-) ) > I've seen the patches for video > switching and will try them at some point, but it's not > as important to me as getting suspend/resume and wireless > radio on/off.
