Swapping FN and CTRL key on external thinkpad keyboard

Hi, I just picked up a brand new external thinkpad trackpoint keyboard from lenovo, and hooked it up to my x220. I assumed no drivers are needed, and it looks like it is working just fine, except FN/CTRL swap is not replicated on external keyboard. Now onboard keyboard has them swapped, but not external USB one.
By the way, I am keeping my MX5500 mouse still plugged in, only think I will need is a numpad, but it is too bad that this new think keyboard does not have USB ports for daisychaining them.

found the drivers here and will try now: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloa ... MIGR-73235
they must be more up to date than the CD they ship with keyboard anyway..


Did not work... There is no option to swap FN/CTRL keys.. Why wouldn't it replicate the function from on-board keyboard?

I am in such despair. I love my new keyboard, I can even get around the lack of numpad, but I really need to swap FN with CTRL.
Is there anything I can do to achieve that? I really don't want to sell or return this keyboard.
