[solved]Keyboard Compaq Presario CQ62

Post by alfavictory »

Dear All,

I just bought a new Laptop (see subject) install my favorite distro (Mint of course), and find out that I can hardly work with that system...
There is "Functional" keys that naturally must work together with Fn key, but they are not. So if I want press Alt+F2 it will not work, instead of this it deam screen. I press Fn+F2 it doesn't. I press Ctrl+F2 = Deam. Just F2, the same. Looks like Fn button pressed all the time. I check other distros and other Laptops, all the same.
Ple-e-e-ease, somebody, tell me how I can turn it proper way?
Maybe somebody knows which keyboard type I need to choose?
I don't want to install "Uncle Willy" software.

Thanks to all in advance.

Andrii

Kind of.
There is Internet keyboard for Notebook Compaq (Presario for example) - does not work.
Keyboard for Compaq Notebook (Armada for example) - does not work

Any suggestions? Please...

What's happening guys? 38 views no one reply for a week?
I'm still suffering with this problem. Is anybody knows at least a website, where I can find driver or program or HOWTO, to fix this problem?
I need your help, please!!!

After ages of reading forums, I met my friend who solved this problem very easy :)
Just Disable function in BIOS to use additional keys without Fn... It was so easy and stupid that I feel so embarrassed :oops:
If somebody had problem like this pls see BIOS first :)
