 Just a fyi , I had the same problems with a thinkpad x220, T400 and
T410, and stopped using trinity mostly for that reason. its not just
fn+f1 its just all the thinkpad buttons and shortcuts not working in
tde, wether it is for sound, suspend, luminosity . . . for years.

 I ll watch this tread and possibly get back to trying tde if/when
this is fixed one day.
