    After installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my U400 Lenovo, I found some hotkeys are not working( enable/disable touchpad, display on/off, webcam enable/disable )

    How to fix the problem?

      I am using Idepad Z370 and have the same problem. Lenovo support pages says there is no Linux driver yet.

      I have experience with that, but for me only display was important and what I did is that I wrote small bash script #!/bin/sh;xset dpms force off(use enter instead of ;) and in Keyboard->Shortcuts->Own shortcuts I create new event and set this script to run when pressing on some button
