Still no answer.
This problem, as well as the problem of not being able to eliminate the need to hold down Fn when hitting the Function keys to get the functionality like volume or brightness up and down, is seriously undermining my credibility in being able to "sell" my wife on Linux. She's constantly irritated by these glitches (as well as others like the trackpad going crazy) to the point of being unwilling to use the new laptop I went through so much effort to find, buy, upgrade, and configure for her.
I figured that Ubuntu would be the most solidly functional and broadly compatible distro, and that Lite would be the most attractive, easy to use, and robustly supported out there. I get it that with a gratis system I can't expect people to come leaping to my aid and I should be grateful for what help I can get. I've spent hours searching and trying solutions. I must say I feel let down and frustrated. I'm close to just wiping Lite and starting over. I hate to go back to Windows but I don't know what else to do.
