Func F5 on Windows 7 and T60P

[Oaklodge]

Have installed WIndows 7 RC and everything is working great, only needed a couple of Thinkpad drivers.

However what driver do I need to get Func F5 working - to display the options to switch off wireless devices?

Thanks.

I believe the Hotkey driver will do the trick for you:

Hmm, strange I have that installed and F5 does not work.

Hi everyone:

I've instsalled both the of the drivers mentioned here and I still can't get the utility info to show up on my screen with respect to turning off & on the WiFi and Bluetooth. Any other ideas ?

Thanks, Steve

Please lock Hello:

I too have installed the drivers as mentioned, however, Fn 5 does not work..
A buddy of mine with a T60 installed the drivers and his Fn 5 works fine.

Am I missing something ?

Thanks, Steve

Hi
same, so i cant turno on my bt on my x300...
TBH

I think there may be another driver or two that need to be installed. Also, I think it may be the order in which the drivers are installed for it to work.....

I will work on this issue and once I come up with a work-around, I leave a post.

Please do the same should you beat me to it.


Best to all, Steve

Hi

This morning, a currious thing has appear...

I turn on (after a complete shut down) my X300, and no wifi signal... Push FN F5 and, magic, the lenovo switch box appears... BT and wifi avaible, but only BT can be turn on... I go in netwrok hardware devic, desactivate the wifi card, it deseapear... oupss..

I switch the wireless neetwork hardware button (on back of the x300), turn it on and, activate the wifi card thatt reappear in my netwrk hardware list... and miracle, the lenovo fn f5 box appear with the BT and Wifi functionnal...

I've done nothing... just turn off one night my x300...

Strange things happen here too ... uninstalled both the drivers, rebooted and then reinstalled ...

No I have the Func + F5 working but not the onscreen display for screen brightness or volume control (it is enabled in the display settings, On Screen Display tab).

I think lenovo will release a system drivers and hotkey tools for 7 in next few weeks.. or month...

Even with the currently rather limited support from Lenovo, W7 still beats using Vista, imo.
