| N800, xkb and Sierra full size keyboard |

Hi,
I have an N800 and a sierra bluetooth keyboard. It looks
like the "Fn"
key of this keyboard is not processed by the keyboard but
sent
to the N800 and interpreted as the "Menu" key, so
in practice all keys
that should be accessible using the Fn key as modifier don't
work. This
includes F1..F12, PageUp/Down, EuroSign, YenSign, ... so
it's
pretty annoying.
It looks like there is lots of interesting keyboard stuff
in /usr/share/X11/xkb/ on my N800, any idea on how to define
an adapted
layout? (I assume defining the Fn key as a modifier Hyper_R
or something
then adding definitions on the other keys.)
Thanks in advance,
Laurent

After reading docs and some trial and error, I found out if you do the
changes below in /usr/share/X11/xkb/ and select enlish/GB keyboard
the Think Outside Stowaway Sierra Full Size Bluetooth Keyboard
will mostly work ok (with AltGr instead of the Fn key to get the "blue"
symbols and compose for accents - I'm french  .
I did not succeed in getting the "EIGHT_LEVEL" or "level5" mode to work
and define more key combos with "Fn"+key. If any xkb syntax expert
is lurking arount, help welcomed.
