I asked the following question on the Lenovo Forum:

>Note:

>For: Fn + F9

ONE response that came back, because I did not mention OS/2-eCS was:
It appears from my very quick look at this page that most of the
functions are actually controlled by ACPI.
Would it be appropriate to file a ticket indicated that these keys do
not function? The page does not appear to be model related, except for
some keys that are only applicable to specific models.
