Lenovo Ideapad S205 - the problem of netbooks under Windows XP Pro SP3

[telemeh]

It is this version (3.0.4.0) for me and worth it. Tried version 3.0.4.2 - the same effect.

Under Windows 7 Starter all hotkeys work correctly.

it seems something wrong with your windows xp. did you install any service pack? can you perform clean windows installation?

Certainly I did pure installation Windows XP PRO SP3 RUS (service-pak SP3 is integrated into distribution kit Windows XP), it is more that didn't put (also have been established video and sound driver). Also tried a variant of installation Windows XP PRO SP3 RUS + all hot-fix. The result always one - brightness control, switching-off/inclusion touchpad and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth doesn't work. That is don't work (and on the screen doesn't appear OSD) following keys: - "Fn + F5"; - "Fn + F6"; - "Fn + Cursor UP"; - "Fn + Cursor up DOWN". Following keys work correctly: - "Fn + F2"; - "Fn + F3"; - "Fn + F7"; - "Fn + F8"; - "Fn + F9"; - "Fn + F10"; - "Fn + F11"; - "Fn + Cursor Left"; - "Fn + Cursor Right". The key "Fn + Esc" works on half - the chamber otkljuchaetsja/joins but OSD on the screen not to be deduced. Разумеется я делал чистую установку Windows XP PRO SP3 RUS (сервис-пак SP3 интегрирован в дистрибутив Windows XP), больше ни чего не ставил (также были установлены драйвера видео и звука). Также пробовал вариант установки Windows XP PRO SP3 RUS + все hot-fix. Результат всегда один - регулировка яркости, отключение/включение тачпада и Wi-Fi/Bluetooth не работает. То есть не работают (и на экране не появляется OSD) следующие клавиши: - "Fn + F5"; - "Fn + F6"; - "Fn + Cursor UP"; - "Fn + Cursor up DOWN". Следующие клавиши работают правильно: - "Fn + F2"; - "Fn + F3"; - "Fn + F7"; - "Fn + F8"; - "Fn + F9"; - "Fn + F10"; - "Fn + F11"; - "Fn + Cursor Left"; - "Fn + Cursor Right". Клавиша "Fn + Esc" работает на половину - камера отключается/включается но OSD на экран не выводиться.

Still results:
Ubuntu 10.10 - all works without the additional software (Fn+Up/Down works; brightness is regulated; OSD is shown).
Windows 7 Ultimate x32: I have installed at first Enargy Manager, then the video card driver (all from a Lenovo site). After installing Enargy Manager it was shown OSD brightness regulations, but brightness wasn't regulated. After installing of  video driver brightness began to be regulated.
Windows XP a Home Edition with Service Pack 3 Retail (x86) Original (MSDN): After setting of drivers (from a Lenovo site) in any sequence brightness isn't regulated (Fn+Up/Down), ODS isn't displayed. Changeover of driver ATI by versions 11.1 and 11.5 gives nothing. The sound is regulated (Fn+Left/Right) right after setting of the driver of the sound card. OSD is displayed only after installing Energy Manager.
