My old Asus 900 got broken (I slipped on ice and it and its carry

Got a 'new' Asus 900. Left mouse button does not work, but I will
switch mouse buttons later. I DID switch drives (and memory), and
my F21/Xfce system comes right back up. Except.
No Fn key, so no home or end or pgup or etc button.
lsmod|grep eee
shows eeepc_laptop
I hope it is not a bad key, but I can switch keyboards too if
needed. How do I fix this?
Robert:
on my 901 (also running an ancient Fedora, F20) lsmod | grep eee
returns not only eeepc_laptop, but also sparse_keymap.
I dunno what sparse_keymap does, but it prolly has something to do
with mapping keys :). does your 900 show that?
