One user mentions:
* Hotkeys (Video, Mail, Browser, Power)
* Fn+F5 : Touchpad enable/disable: Doesn't seems to work, but not realy usefull.
* Fn+F8/F9 : LCD Brightness -/+ DOESNT WORK

also another user reports:
"edit: the fn-f5 keys arent recognized by xev."
and
"does the volume wheel work for anyone?"

Same behavior I had with this one.. Matter of fact, I haven't gotten around to getting the volume wheel (on the front of the laptop) working... Had a bug report in ALSA from almost 2 years ago and still heard nothing back... Also, nothing from xev nor evtest (from package "joystick") nor from acpi_listen...

So I'm pretty sure this is the same exact thing as this laptop, I also just looked at the (rather awkward) keyboard layout shared between this laptop and the Amilo Xa 1526, its the same..

Also, bug #183159 "Brightness-keys of FSC Laptop XA1526 don't work"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183159
Which I totally even forgot I replied to 2 days ago :)
(has dmidecode and other useful info)

Moreover, I remember that we had some Everex Stepnote XT5000T users from hardforum modifying/hex-editing the FSC Amilo XA1526 bioses and flashing them on the XT5000T, as the BIOS has more unlocked features and the laptops are 99.9% identical, except that the Amilo XA1526 comes with extra feature of bluetooth, afaik...

Hope this helps... but anyway, it doesn't concern me personally... hopefully someone will find this sometime from google and duplicate the troubleshooting...

Thanks
