Laptops usually have a dedicated key to turn off the screen, no?

    Mine doesn't, but even if it would have, most of the original special keys don't work in Linux. It's quite annoying because I don't have F keys and Home-PageUp and such, they were accessible with key combinations with the original OS.

  • On most laptops that do that, there's a BIOS setting that fixes it, the F keys at least. On HP's, you can set whether you want the top row to act as F keys or "media" keys. Any combo that uses the Fn key should work in Linux, and you can set your own hot-keys/shortcuts in Linux as well.
