Has anyone been able to figure out a way to bypass the laptop function
keys not working?  I want to be able to send my laptop vga signal to my
monitor but using fn + f8 doesn't seem to work (as well as a bunch of
the other function keys).
    

There are many ways to workaround this. Most of them involve modifying kxb 
configuration. In my notebook and in my home desktop (which has an internet 
keyboard with many extra keys), I've done the following:
1. Use xev to get the scancodes or the non-working keys. Execute xev in a 
graphical console and press the keys. Two events will be generated for each 
key press: one on key down and another on key up. You will see the key code 
in both of them. (*)

  
I'm having trouble learning to use XEV.  Is there a place that gives clear documentation on it?
