Hi,
I use Xubuntu 10.04.

I tried to use Xev to retrieve the keysym of keyboard's hotkeys. My
laptop is a Compaq Presario C765EL.

When I use xev and type Fn+F5 this key isn'r recognized.

The output is:
KeymapNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  2   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

Instead, in example, If I try to type Fn+F9 I obtain:
KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
    root 0x111, subw 0x0, time 30836600, (-94,131), root:(655,406),
    state 0x0, keycode 172 (keysym 0x1008ff14, XF86AudioPlay), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False
