° I have an old Dell E4310 Latitude portable I've installed Fedora 32 on. it works but I would like to run it with an external keyboard, monitor,and track ball. Those things mostly workexcept that it wants to run the external monitor at the display settings for the little 14" screen. In order to fix that problem I want to be able to operate a toggle display function that uses "Fn + F8" and there is no Fn key on the standard keyboard. Xev shows nothing for the Fn key on the portable. I thought I would just remap the external keyboard but I have no idea what to do to change that. I found a suggestion googling to use the key to the right of delete, that does not work.
Does anyone know how to produce "Fn" from a standard desktop keyboard?
No clue, but isn't there a "monitor preference" application, possibly called "display"? it is used when you have two or more displays to arrange them relative to eachother, to set each one's resolution, and define which one is the main display.
Not runninhg F32 here, but it may be available on a panel in the "add to panel" section, or it should also appear on the menus somewhere (unless you're running Gnome, where they believe in hiding everything useful).
