I can run xev to get the keymap codes, for all keys but this FN key. Apparently the FN key won't give any output by itself, at least not using this method.

many (most?) keyboards process FN in hardware. the OS doesn't get a chance to see it. so if you do FN+down arrow to get page down, it's the keyboard itself that is sending the "page down" key. the OS doesn't see "FN+down arrow" and translate it to "page down" in software. -mike
