Has anybody an idea?

That sounds like something that the Windows driver for that Dell motherboard would do, that you're not going to get in Linux. You can search the Dell web site for a Linux driver for that model, but if you don't find it there, .........................

I don't know if that happens at the OS level or if the laptop hardware handles it...
I think others have gotten it working. Try searching.

Re: fn key

Search within Adept Manager on "laptop" "function" "keys". There is one or more utilities for laptop function keys. I've seen them. Don't know if any will actualy help, but you need to look and read the descriptions.

Re: fn key

I have that same problem under Kubuntu, but it was not an issue with Ubuntu. I think its just something KDE need to have manually set up.

Re: fn key

I have tried this solution https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...se/+bug/151444 but when i enter this keycodes nothing happens. Or is entering the keycodes not enough?

btw under Ubuntu and Fedora (with KDE) it works out of the box but i want to use kubuntu
