    Just wiped my drive yesterday with a fresh xp install and for the most part i've been busy getting everything back functional again. The most laughable part of it all is that linux doesn't seem to have any trouble detecting all the hardware on my r51 where as on xp 90% of all the drivers i had to install manually.

    But anywho, back to my question. For the most part everything is up and runing without a hitch except for a few function keys that refuse to work. Acess IBM button (don't really care about this but it'd benice to have everything working), turning off the screen (Fn+F3), enabling/disabling the radio (Fn+F5) and going into hybernate mode (Fn+F12).

    As far as i can tell i've got all the drivers installed, no doubt i'm missing something software side. Any input on this is greatly appreciated.

    Never mind, System Update from IBM's site is a life saver. All the keys are working again like they should.
