On gnome, Desktop->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts is very helpful for defining these sorts of keys to open email, control volume and such...but as it appears you're using KDE I don't have experience with that so I couldn't tell you where to find an equivalent.

Wiped XP of the disk and installed FC4.
Laptop is a Compaq Presario 2822EA.

First attempt faild, anaconda bailed ot with a kilometer of
errors, it
appeared that repartion the disk failed, although it was
supposed to
delete all partitions.

Second attempt worked without any problems, apart from not
be able to
identify the screen.
The ATI chipset was identified as a ATI 7500, which I
assume is correct.
Changed later to generic LCD 1024*768, without any problems.

Now, the current problems I have is to make the "Quick
Launch" and the
other buttoms such as volume etc. to work.
Having read various othters experiences, but I have not
found any solution.
I assume that ther must be a driver or something similar to
have them
operational.
But where do I find it?

Verus Amicus Est Tamquam Alter Idem
On KDE (never use Gnome, personal preference)

Control Center>Regional and Accessibility>Keyboard layouts
Select the
Compaq Laptop keyboard.
Does not exist, only Compaq standard keybords and internet Keyboards.

To quick, found it as "LapTop keyboard Compaq", not "Compaq laptop keyboard"

Got the volume working now, don't know about the Fn keys yet, The others,
"i", "e-mail", "search" and the "mute" do not work.
