[tlinux-users:08566] Re: Has anyone mapped the Fn key to Super key?

Thanks for your reply.

I've tried xev myself, Fn really does not send any event to the
program. However, Fn+esc or Fn+F4 does....just so strange....

Is there any software that could do such thing? (Under windows,
Toshiba provide a software called EasyFn which could bind Fn and a a-z
key together for some event)

Still anyone has good suggestions?
