Xev doesn't recognize hotkey Fn+F5

[cristian]

Hi,
I use Xubuntu 10.04.

I tried to use Xev to retrieve the keysym of keyboard's hotkeys. My laptop is a Compaq Presario C765EL.

When I use xev and type Fn+F5 this key isn'r recognized.

The output is:
KeymapNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys: 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
           0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Instead, in example, If I try to type Fn+F9 I obtain:
KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
    root 0x111, subw 0x0, time 30836600, (-94,131), root:(655,406),
    state 0x0, keycode 172 (keysym 0x1008ff14, XF86AudioPlay), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False
