I installed it on my Dell Latitude CPx J750GT, and I love it. One thing though - it appears that none of my function keys work. I know that X thinks I have a 101-key keyboard - which is wrong - I have an 87-key keyboard. I don't know if that's related to the problem or not though.

I'd really like to get things like the suspend key, and the brightness/contrast keys working.

Any ideas?

Congratulations - I've been searching for laptop successes on FC2 and found few.

Check your /var/log/acpid file to see if you are getting acpi events but are not handling them. That may cover the suspend key but not function keys (do you mean F1-F12 keyboard function keys or non-standard hard buttons eg. mail, web, volume etc)?

I had to remove the default sample.conf file from /etc/acpi/events and put in a lid.conf and sleep.conf to properly support the lid action and the suspend button.
