On Lenovo laptops, in order to use F5 you need to press Fn-F5 (same with F1-F12). It's really annoying and I'd like to reverse the situation. On Windows, a Lenovo driver could help: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/Disable-Fn-Keys-E420/td-p/803609
How can I resolve this on Ubuntu 12.04? I couldn't find Lenovo drivers for Linux.
UPDATE: Found a peculiar solution for this on Windows. Can anyone recommend a good equivalent for Xubuntu: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/How-do-you-reset-the-function-keys-on-a-P500-ideapad-to-legacy/td-p/958995
