I have a fairly old laptop, maybe 4 or 5 years old. haha, it still function perfectly, the battery seem hold a charge perfectly, and it least 3 to 4 hours. Well, that is the story about the laptop.
The other day, I realize, there is two keys on laptop, that I never even bother to play with. One is a hardware key(I think it is use for switch Display), so I pretty much can't do anything with it unless, I go back to windows xp and have the official driver install. The other key, in the other hand actually work, it get detected by X. nice....
My only problem is, I have no idea, what should I use the key for. I have no idea what is the original purpose of this little key sense I bought the laptop used without an OS.
I am think, to set it up so it can open a bar, which I can launch software by typing, but I have no idea how to do that or any tools allow me to do that. Anyway, I just want to do something with that key, that can make it actually special. haha
Any suggestion??
BTW there is two screenshot of my laptop, see if that can help come out with any idea.
