eeePC 1005 fn Key

Hi Fran-Byte

I do not have an EEEPC to test on, but it looks like you can do the following...

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install acpi-support acpi
sudo apt install xbindkeys xbindkeys-config
xbindkeys --defaults > ~/.xbindkeysrc
xbindkeys-config

I think you'll need to make a volume up and down script and then point to them in xbindkeys-config

Volume up:
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/volume_up
#!/bin/sh
amixer set Master 5%+

Volume down:
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/volume_down
#!/bin/sh
amixer set Master 5%-

Don't foreget to make the scripts executable:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/volume_up
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/volume_down

You'll then have to add the key bindings using xbindkeys-config.

After doing that restart xbindkeys:
killall xbindkeys
xbindkeys

Please let us know how it goes.
