if i understand correctly, you are using Windows on a desktop and
linux on your thinkpad labtop. Some problem occur with the linux on
thinkpad?

i dont' think i know the answer anyway.

On Windows, you might try AutoHotkey, which i use. I have some
tutorial here:

〈Windows Programing: AutoHotkey Tutorial〉
http://xahlee.org/mswin/autohotkey.html

according to Wikipedia, there's a linux version of AutoHotkey but i
never tried.

am guessing you can't remap Fn key by software on arbitary laptop
because they are probably hardwired in non-standard ways.

thanks for mentioning keytweak
