The nature of that Fn-F2 key depends on how the motherboard manufacturer coded
their BIOS. Most do it as a toggle and use some WMI (Windows Management
Interface) code to initialize it on boot up. As this no-name laptop is unlikely
to have a WMI driver the way that name brands do, it probably generates a
keystroke. That is easy to check - Use CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch to a console, log
in, and issue the command "showkey". Is a keycode returned when Fn-F2 is pressed?

Hmm I've got it. So maybe taking look at the ACPI tables/WMI block can 
reveal a way to initialize the toggle? I'm not really experienced in 
these things but I'll take a look out of curiosity.

Thanks!
